We can confirm that Devin Wayne Center of Fayetteville, Arkansas is "Nathan AR" of Patriot Front.

Center was arrested yesterday in Idaho along with 30 other members of the organization.

Here's Center/"Nathan AR" at a regional PF training event last year.

Here are messages by "Nathan AR"/Devin Wayne Center in Patriot Front internal communications, from a large data leak published by @UR_Ninja last year.

"Nathan AR" was clear that he lived in or near Fayetteville, Arkansas.

We further verified this identification by locating public photos of Devin Wayne Center, which perfectly matched the individual who antifascists knew as "Nathan AR" of Patriot Front.

Devin Wayne Center helped to deface a #BlackLivesMatter / #StopAsianHate mural in Atlanta in September, along with Patriot Front leader Thomas Rousseau, member Graham Whitson, and a currently-unidentified fourth member.

The ATL mural was later restored.

When Patriot Front held a march in DC in December, Devin Wayne Center was in charge of one of the org's shield teams.

Here's Center at drill, the morning before the march.

Center's team was part of the Vanguard shield section, headed by another Arkansas member, Dalton Woodward.

We first exposed Dalton Woodward as an active white nationalist in 2019. Earlier this year, we reported that Woodward had moved to Arkansas and was the national "Interview Coordinator" for Patriot Front.
