A Texas man who admits to being affiliated with the far-right anti-government the Boogaloo Bois has been arrested in connection with shots fired at a police station in Minneapolis, Minnesota during protests that erupted after the police incident involving the death of Geoge Floyd.
Viral video shot on May 28 shows a person firing 13 rounds from a semiautomatic assault-style rifle on the Third Precinct police station while suspected looters were inside.
U.S. Attorney Erica MacDonald announced that she charged 26-year-old Ivan Harrison Hunter, of Boerne, Texas, with traveling across state lines to participate in a riot.
According to the complaint, Hunter claims to be a member of the Boogaloo Bois in social media posts and described what he had done online.
Ivan Hunter (A Boog) was Federally charged for for role in #Minneapolis 3rd precinct riots.
Media is painting him as a “Far right extremist” despite expressing support for the black panthers and yelling out “Justice for George Floyd” during his attack.#riots2020 pic.twitter.com/qJqMXBmkEe
