A white supremacist who went viral as the focus of a Vice documentary on the violence in Charlottesville has turned himself in to police and is being held without bond on three felony charges.

Christopher Cantwell was seen in the video brandishing a large cache of weapons, calling black people “animals,” shouting “Jews will not replace us,” and arguing that the violence that took Heather Heyer’s life was justified in order to achieve an “ethno-state.”

The 36-year-old is now facing two counts of illegal use of tear gas and one count of malicious bodily injury with a caustic substance.

Upon learning of the charges, he went viral again for a tear-filled video that earned him the nickname “Crying Nazi.” “I’ve been engaged in violence. I have. There’s no question about it. And I’ve done nothing to hide that. But it was done in defense of myself and others,” Cantwell said.

In an interview with the New York Times earlier this week, Cantwell said he believes they stem from a photograph that depicts him pepper-spraying a man. “I don’t think I did anything wrong, and I’m looking forward to my day in court.”

He was denied bond, and is next scheduled to appear in court on October 12.

In the sniffling follow-up video, Cantwell said: “I want to be peaceful. I want to be law abiding. That was the whole point of this … we have done everything our power to keep this peaceful.”

It stands in marked contrast to what he told Vice reporter Elle Reeve just days prior: “I think that a lot more people are going to die before we’re done here, frankly.”
