"Jeff Berry", former leader of the American Knights of the Ku Klux Klan in Butler, Indiana, was sentenced to seven years in prison on December 4, 2001 for conspiracy to commit criminal confinement with a deadly weapon. The charges stemmed from a 1999 incident in which Berry refused to allow a local reporter and a photographer to leave his home following an interview.

In an interview, Berry identified himself as the Klan's "national imperial wizard.

In a book written by his former assistant and now former Klansman, Brad Thompson, Berry's Klan is described as "a gigantic financial rip-off designed to line the pockets of its top leadership."

He later left the Klan 6 months after Jacob Holdt, a Danish Photographer, made a documentary with him about racism. [http://www.american-pictures.com/video/kkk.on.the.road/kkk-road-us.htm]

After leaving the Klan, Berry was assaulted physically by other Klan members, to include his son who believed Jeff had betrayed his race, which resulted in him becoming blind and invalid.
