ROCK HILL, S.C. — A white nationalist who spoke at the deadly Charlottesville rally in 2017 was arrested in Florida after he kidnapped his wife in Rock Hill, South Carolina, police said.

The Rock Hill Police Department said the victim told officers her husband, 36-year-old Augustus Invictus, came to the home they rented Dec. 12, 2019.

She said Invictus used a gun to force her and her children to go with him to Florida.

The victim said she was able to escape and reported the incident to police Dec. 22.

Officers said they issued warrants for Invictus on charges of kidnapping, domestic violence of a high and aggravated nature and possession of a weapon during a crime of violence.

Police said they worked with authorities in Brevard County, Florida, who found and arrested Invictus.

He’ll be extradited back to Rock Hill to face charges.

Invictus is a known white nationalist who ran for Senate in Florida in 2016.

He was a key speaker at a rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, in 2017, protesting the decision to remove a statue of Confederate General Robert E. Lee from a public park.

White nationalists and neo-Nazi organizations attended the rally, which turned violent. One man drove his car through a crowd of counterprotesters, killing a woman.
