A Texas television station investigating white supremacist hate in their region was startled to discover a website linked to the newly-appointed Colbert, Oklahoma police chief.
It started with all of the attention the Southern Poverty Law Centers Hate Map received following the violence in Charlottesville, VA.
Reporter Rachel Knapp of KXII noticed a single hategroup in the Texoma region and began investigating. The website ISD Records had filed paperwork in 2004 with the signature of Bart Asbrook.
A Bart Asbrook was hired as Colberts interim Police Chief just last week. Asbrook is the third Chief hired so far this year.
We called Alsbrook about that application last week. He denied he was the Bart Alsbrook behind isdrecords.com, KXII reported. We searched for another Bart Alsbrook and couldnt find another person with that name in the United States.
Alsbrooks initial denial was suspect after the site was taken offline within hours of the reporters questioning.
When we called him back to ask him about it, Alsbrook claimed a group of skinheads stole his wallet and began using his name after a fight at a heavy metal concert in the 1990s, KXII reported.

With little more than a thousand residents, I think it's a safe bet that Alsbrook isn't the only nazi in town.

there is a speed trap set up in the town to help defray the profiling--but profiling still exists.

Why, I bet Alsbrook Sr had no knowledge of this.
