Police later stopped the van, and officers say 33-year-old Joseph Bounds of Denver, Colorado stepped out of the vehicle and refused orders to step away from traffic. He's charged with misdemeanor resisting a police officer without violence and failure to obey orders. Officials say Bounds is part of a small virulently anti-Semitic group called the Goyim Defense League.
