Danville police and the Vermilion County Sheriff’s Department are on “high alert” after reports of a white supremacist rally planned for Saturday evening near Lake Vermilion.
A post that has been circulating on Facebook this week says a there is a “White Power Party” scheduled for 5 p.m. tonight at Lake Vermilion. It did not specify the specific location.
Mayor Rickey Williams Jr. says none of the businesses around the lake have heard of the group, and he says he believes the event is either fake or someone tried to plan something but was unsuccessful.
