Dallas police confirmed to The Dallas Express that a firearm found on Hunter Holmes during his September 10 arrest had been reported stolen.<\/p>\n

The revelation follows The Dallas Express’<\/a> reporting on Holmes’ arrest during an anti-Trump demonstration near American Airlines Center and social media posts from an account associated with Holmes containing violent political rhetoric and Antifascist Action imagery.<\/p>\n

When asked whether firearms were recovered from Holmes<\/a> or Adrian Garcia<\/a>, who was also arrested during the demonstration, DPD responded, “Yes.”<\/p>\n

“We can confirm the gun that Holmes had on his person was reported stolen at the time of his arrest,” the department told The Dallas Express.<\/p>\n

The confirmation comes after an account associated with Holmes publicly responded to an allegation that he possessed a stolen firearm.<\/p>\n

“If that gun really was stolen then I would’ve caught a charge for that but lo and behold. I’m not, I’m free. I posted bail,” the Doberman_DFW account wrote<\/a> following Holmes’ release.<\/p>\n

DPD did not say why Holmes has not been publicly charged in connection with the reported stolen firearm.<\/p>\n

The Dallas Express also asked whether police were reviewing Holmes’ social media activity, including a post stating, “We’ve been preparing and organizing,” and another displaying “ANTIFASCIST ACTION” imagery alongside violent rhetoric referencing President Donald Trump, ICE, and police.<\/p>\n

“The Department does not comment on specific investigative methods, information being reviewed, or potential evidence related to an ongoing investigation,” DPD responded.<\/p>\n

“DPD takes potential threats of violence seriously. We will not speculate as to whether specific statements or social media posts constitute a criminal threat or comment on matters that may be part of an ongoing investigation,” DPD added.<\/p>\n

Police said there was no additional information to release regarding potential additional charges.<\/p>\n

“Should additional charges be filed or releasable information become available, it will be provided through the appropriate channels,” DPD said.<\/p>\n

Holmes was previously booked on two counts of assault causing bodily injury and one count of obstructing a highway or passageway stemming from the September 10 demonstration. Those charges are accusations, and Holmes is presumed innocent unless proven guilty.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dallas police confirmed to The Dallas Express that a firearm found on Hunter Holmes during his September 10…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":437552,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[2485,151634,102,3745,104,103,401,149207,150705,146414,3311,151405],"class_list":["post-437551","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-dallas","tag-american-airlines-center","tag-antifascist-action","tag-dallas","tag-dallas-express","tag-dallas-headlines","tag-dallas-news","tag-dallas-police","tag-holmes","tag-hunter-holmes","tag-political-rhetoric","tag-president-donald-trump","tag-stolen-firearm"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/437551","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=437551"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/437551\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/437552"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=437551"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=437551"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=437551"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
