Three men — Jacob S. Goodwin, of Ward, Arkansas; Alex M. Ramos, of Jackson, Georgia; and Daniel P. Borden, of Mason, Ohio — all have been charged with attacking Harris.

Goodwin is being held in Lonoke County Detention Center until he can be extradited to Virginia. Ramos and Borden were denied bond last month. They are being held at the Albemarle-Charlottesville Regional Jail.

Last month, during a news conference at Emancipation Park organized by Malik Shabazz, a self-described black nationalist and president of Black Lawyers for Justice, Long said he initially used the torch to burn a Confederate flag. He then used the flames to protect himself and others around him from allegedly aggressive rally-goers who were exiting the park after authorities declared the event an unlawful assembly after fights and violent protests roiled Emancipation Park and the downtown area.

Police said Richard Wilson Preston, a Maryland Ku Klux Klan leader, shot a gun in Long’s direction as Long was shooting flames toward rally-goers. Preston was arrested later for firing a weapon within 1,000 feet of a school. During a court hearing last week, Preston said he fired his gun to defend a person who was threatened by Long.

Preston was denied bond and is currently being held at the Albemarle-Charlottesville Regional Jail.
