A person in a pickup truck was driving through a neighborhood in Hobart passing out white supremacy propaganda Tuesday afternoon, according to police.

At about 4:10 p.m., Hobart police responded to a suspicious persons report in the 7500 block of Clay Street. A resident saw a person driving a black, rusted pickup truck going mailbox to mailbox, inserting white supremacist pamphlets in the boxes.

Hobart Police Chief Rick Zormier said an officer took a pamphlet from a mailbox and identified it as containing Ku Klux Klan literature.

Hobart Lt. James Gonzales said inserting materials into mailboxes is problematic on its own, without considering the contents, as they are private receptacles for residents and the postal service.

"It's definitely out of the ordinary," Gonzales said. "It's not something that happens all the time."
