White Supremacist Arrested After Stabbing Stranger

Erik John Meiser has a wrap sheet going back decades

A white supremacist with a 10-state criminal record dating back to the 1980s was arrested in Oregon over the weekend and charged with the brutal knife killing of a recently retired man he had apparently never met.

It was extensive media coverage and the use of electronic billboards displaying the image of Erik John Meiser that apparently led Clackamas County Sheriff's deputies and federal marshals to arrest the suspect at gunpoint Saturday outside a motel in Corvallis, Ore.
