PALATKA, Fla. — Two current and one former prison employee who all belonged to the Ku Klux Klan planned to kill a black inmate as he was released in retaliation for a fight. One of those KKK members made his first appearance in front of a judge Saturday.
The three men -- Thomas Jordan Driver, 25, David Elliot Moran, 47, and 42-year-old Charles Thomas Newcomb -- each were arrested Thursday on one state count of conspiracy to commit murder, according to a statement from Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi’s office.
Charles Newcomb was transferred from the Alachua County Jail to the Columbia County Jail.
