TEXARKANA, Texas — A 36-year-old man with apparent ties to a loose movement of right-wing extremists has been indicted in Texas on charges including the attempted capital murder of a peace officer.
Swenson's Facebook page included references to the “boogaloo” movement, a network of gun enthusiasts who often express support for overthrowing the U.S. government, according to police and the Tech Transparency Project, which tracks technology companies. Hours before his arrest, police said, Swenson wrote a post under an alias saying “I feel like hunting the hunters.”
Swenson is being held at a jail in Texarkana, a city that straddles the Texas and Arkansas state line. A judge set his bond at $1 million Thursday, the Texarkana Gazette reported.
