A Michigan police officer who was fired from his job after Confederate and Ku Klux Klan memorabilia were found in his home told investigators that he had the racist items because he’s a collector and a “Dukes of Hazzard” superfan.

The revelation was made public on Monday when authorities in Muskegon released hundreds of pages of documents related to their investigation into fired officer Charles Anderson.

The report includes interviews with Anderson, who repeatedly told investigators that a Confederate flag and other Confederate-themed items in his house were an homage to the “Dukes of Hazzard.”

“I have a very, very large collection of the ‘Dukes of Hazzard.’ I have gone to their meets. They call it a Duke’s Fest. It’s where you go down south and you meet in a state and all ‘Dukes of Hazzard’ fans get together … ” Anderson told a detective when asked about a Confederate placemat and a Confederate flag in his house.

He then further explained the Comic Con-like “Duke Fest” and said he previously owned a car mocked up like the show’s “General Lee.”

“They have hundreds of General Lees and all the cars and they do jumps and I’ve went to that for 2 or 3 years,” he said.

“I have an original script signed by Cougar. My wife bought it for me … I actually owned a car that was painted up like the General Lee. It was a 4-wheel drive and I just used it for play so I have all their videos,” he added.

Anderson was fired after a black family touring his house with a realtor stumbled onto the Confederate-themed items and a framed “application for citizenship” to the KKK.

In the interview released Monday, Anderson claimed he had the KKK application because of his love of history.

“It’s our heritage. I mean it occurred, good or bad and it’s part of history and I love history and I have thousands of antiques and I could show them to you, I have thousands,” he told the investigator.

Anderson also repeatedly denied he was a member of the KKK, pointing to his Catholic faith as evidence he would be rejected by the hate group.
