Gullett, a leader of a white supremacist gang in Arkansas and another inmate, Christopher Sanderson, have escaped a local jail and are being sought by authorities who say they consider the men armed and dangerous. The U.S. Marshals service said Tuesday, July 30, 2019 authorities were searching for Gullett and Sanderson after the pair escaped from the Jefferson County Detention Center in Pine Bluff, which is about 38 miles south of Little Rock.

PINE BLUFF, Ark. (AP) — A jail breakout ended without violence as authorities scooped up a white supremacist gang leader and another fugitive more than 100 miles (160 kilometers) from their Arkansas lockup .
Wesley Gullett, 30, surrendered while walking alone down a highway in Dover, northwest of the Jefferson County jail in Pine Bluff from which he escaped, authorities said. He was taken to the Pope County jail.

Hours later, Christopher Sanderson, 34, surrendered to federal marshals and Arkansas State Police troopers in the Ozark National Forest near Pelsor, about 120 miles (193.11 kilometers) northwest of Pine Bluff, said U.S. Marshals Service spokesman Kevin Sanders said. Sanderson was severely dehydrated and was taken to a hospital for treatment, Sanders said.
Jefferson County Sheriff Lafayette Woods told the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette that the men were last seen at the county jail in Pine Bluff at around 8:30 p.m. Monday. But it wasn't until 4:30 a.m. on Wednesday that officials noticed they were missing, even though Woods told the Pine Bluff Commercial that several other inmates tried to escape Tuesday but were quickly captured after a drone spotted them on the roof.

Officials: White supremacist sect mixing drugs, hate born in Arkansas jail

From a jail in Arkansas’ River Valley, 25-year-old Mckelly Leon Harris waited. It was March of 1990. He was already a convicted felon, and at that point he was facing new charges of aggravated robbery and residential burglary.
There, in the Pope County jail in Russellville, where roughly 86 percent of the city’s more than 29,000 residents are white, Harris founded a structured organization of white supremacists, the New Aryan Empire. Its goal was to “preserve the Caucasian race” and to protect its members from inmates of other races.
Over the next two decades, membership in the New Aryan Empire — NAE on members’ tattoos or patches — expanded from county jails to state prisons. As inmates finished their sentences and returned to society, they spread the group’s supremacist views and its narcotics-based criminal enterprise to communities in Arkansas and beyond until, federal authorities said, the group had roughly 5,000 members.
New Aryan Empire members “practice a crude version of white supremacist ideology,” said Carla Hill, a senior investigative researcher with the Anti-Defamation League in New York. “Their number one priority is their criminal enterprise” — specifically methamphetamine sales. “They combine their efforts at criminal enterprise with the bigotry of a hate group.”
