After seeing the newspaper’s story Monday, the group sent an email saying it didn’t reply “because we realized we jumped the gun and should have let Antifa Seven Hills handle it.” Antifascists of the Seven Hills is based in the Richmond area.

The Seven Hills group posted its findings Monday.

The organization said Morley has been a member of Identity Evropa since 2017 and has been responsible for guiding new applicants through the vetting process and becoming members.

Morley is the second local police officer to recently face an allegation linking him to white supremacists.

Last month, the Virginia Division of Capitol Police announced that Sgt. Robert A. Stamm had been placed on paid administrative leave pending a review of possible violation of department policy.

The Antifascists of the Seven Hills had posted on the group’s blog links to social media accounts in Stamm’s name and a description of his tattoos and interests listed under those accounts.
