White supremacist pleads guilty to beating elderly fisherman

Calvin E. Lockner, the self-professed white supremacist who was accused of beating an elderly black fisherman last year then stealing his truck, pled guilty to four charges including assault Wednesday, and agreed to a 31-year prison term as part of the deal.

Sentencing is scheduled for Monday morning, to give the victims, including 77-year-old James Privott, who lost two teeth in the South Baltimore attack, a chance to appear. Privott was unavailable Wednesday, according to Baltimore state's attorney spokesman Joseph Sviatko.

Lockner, 29, had been scheduled for trial next week along with co-defendant Zachary Watson,18, though that case will likely be postponed because Watson's attorney is in trial on another matter. A third defendant, Emmanuel Miller, 16, was previously found by a juvenile court judge to have participated in the beating.
