YANCEYVILLE — Two men have been arrested and charged in a stabbing at a Ku Klux Klan meeting Saturday, including the founder of the Loyal White Knights.

Deputies found Richard Dillon, 47, of Molsberger Place, Ind., in the Caswell County Sheriff’s Office lobby with stab wounds to his upper chest, according to a release from the sheriff’s office. ... Dillon was taken to Danville Regional Medical Center, where he was treated and released.

Dillon told deputies he was at 2634 U.S. Highway 158 East in Yanceyville, the county seat of Caswell County, where a KKK meeting was being held, when a fight began between him and the two suspects – Christopher Eugene Barker and William Ernest Hagen — the release said. Dillon said he was stabbed multiple times during the fight. Yanceyville is about 70 miles from Raleigh, north of Burlington.

Barker has identified himself to many media organizations as the founder or “Imperial Wizard” of a Klan group called the Loyal White Knights.
