(November 18, 2008)--A federal grand jury in Texas has indicted a white supremacist on hate crime charges stemming from a prison attack on a Jewish cellmate.

Timothy York was indicted on two charges of bias-motivated assault in connection with a December 2007 assault on his cellmate.

According to the indictment, York tried to strangle his cellmate using a ligature made from prison clothing.

At the time, York was held at Seagoville Federal Correctional Institution, about 16 miles southeast of Dallas.

Authorities said he is a member of the United/Universal Aryan Brotherhood.

The indictment alleges that York targeted his cellmate, who is Jewish, because of his religion.

If convicted, York faces as much as 30 years in prison, a $500,000 fine and five years of supervised release.

The Federal Bureau of Prisons said York is no longer in its custody.

They need to let these animals have "Spring cleaning" in the pen.Every so often they need to let these animals have their shanks and let them do what they know how to do, I bet before long they wouldn't do anything to each other because they woouldn't want to fight anyone who can fight back. Cowards!
