Authorities in Texas thwarted a plot by a white supremacist to carry out a mass shooting in Walmart on Friday.
The Kerr County Sheriff’s Office said it arrested Coleman Thomas Blevins, 28 on Friday and charged him with “making a terroristic threat to create public fear of serious bodily injury.”
Last Thursday investigators intercepted a message from Blevins that “made a specific threat that included Walmart”. Blevins was taken into custody the next day.
After the arrest, the officers conducted a search his home and found a stockpile of weapons, drugs, and white supremacist paraphernalia.
“In that warrant service, firearms, ammunition, electronic evidence, concentrated THC, and radical ideology paraphernalia, including books, flags, and handwritten documents were seized,” the Sheriff’s Office said.
“Our investigators did outstanding work in this case, and possibly saved many lives. The plot interrupted in this case is unthinkable. We appreciate the assistance of all our law enforcement partners,” Kerr County Sheriff Larry Leitha said.
