The Ohio headquarters for the Aryan Nations in the Clinton County village of New Vienna denies a connection to the Feb. 15 shootouts that happened 12 miles away.

But police have been keeping an eye on the group that preaches white supremacy. Three members ended up in jail after traffic stops this week.

Dayton, Ohio, police arrested Morris Gulett, 41, Sunday after he struck a Dayton police cruiser with his van, fled from police and crashed the van in nearby Beavercreek, police said.

Kale Kelly, 36, whose last address was the town of Providence in western Kentucky, was stopped Saturday in New Vienna and accused of carrying a concealed weapon and having marijuana, drug paraphernalia and a loaded gun in his car.

Brian Jacob Sakal, 20, of West Milton, Ohio, was arrested Tuesday night on a traffic charge.

''It may sound like we're picking on them, but we treat them like anybody else,'' Clinton County Sheriff Ralph Fizer said.
