GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — An Alachua County Sheriff's Office corrections officer who admitted to being an active member of the Ku Klux Klan has been fired.
According to an administrative investigation report, Detention Officer Wayne Kerschner told authorities that he blogged regularly on a KKK Web site, attended a rally in Tennessee and was an officer of the United Northern and Southern Knights of the Ku Klux Klan. He said his wife was also a dues-paying member.
Kerschner reportedly told investigators that the KKK was a faith-based group and said he believed in the organization's ideology.
The report states that Kerschner didn't want his role in the group to negatively affect the sheriff's office, saying that he thought he was a "pretty dang fair officer."
