Vincent Bertollini

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

R. Vincent Bertollini (b. 1939) is an American anti-semite and white supremacist who gained notoriety for providing financial support to Richard Butler, the founder of the Aryan Nations hate group.

Bertollini, along with a close friend and former business partner, Carl Story (b. 1936), were notorious for running the Sandpoint, Idaho-based 11th Hour Remnant Messenger, a Christian Identity ministry which worked closely with Butler's group and often mailed out its racist pamphlets to area neighborhoods.

Bertollini was arrested April 12, 2006 by the FBI in Santa Fe, New Mexico after fleeing a drunken driving charge in Bonner County, Idaho, in July 2001. On August 25, 2006 he pleaded guilty and was sentenced to two concurrent prison sentences of one to four years, both of which would be suspended, and concurrent 6-month sentences in the Bonner County Jail. The agreement also called for $10,000 in fines with $2,000 suspended, leaving a balance of $8,000. He still faces federal charges in New Mexico of being a fugitive in possession of firearms. ^[1]
