Racist incident in Virginia City

Three suspects, Gary, Janis, and Tiffany Miller, have been arrested following a racially charged incident captured in a viral TikTok video during the Hot August Nights festival in Virginia City, Nevada. The video showed Gary Miller allegedly directing racial slurs at Ricky Johnson, who was collecting signatures for a ballot measure, and making a reference to a 'hanging tree.' The Millers face various charges, including breach of peace, misdemeanor battery, and obstructing a peace officer. Nevada Attorney General Aaron Ford praised the arrests, emphasizing the need for accountability in response to the public outcry against racism. The Storey County Sheriff's Office is continuing its investigation and has received reports of threats directed at community members and law enforcement post-incident. Johnson expressed his determination for justice, stating that such behavior will not be tolerated in Virginia City.
