Coleman Thomas Blevins is a Texas man accused of plotting a Walmart mass shooting.
Coleman Blevins was arrested with guns and white supremacists and other extremist paraphernalia, the Kerr County Sheriff said.
The 28-year-old was arrested on May 28, 2021, the sheriff’s office said in a May 30 press release.
The sheriff’s office said it and other agencies disrupted “plans for a mass casualty event,” and cooperated to “intercept and foil plan for attack on the public.”
Investigators believe Blevins was a “threat to national security,” according to the press release.
“Through the period of investigation, KCSO investigators made contact and conversed with Mr. Blevins, confirmed his affiliation and networking with extremist ideologies. On May 27th, KCSO Special Operations Division intercepted a message indicating that Blevins was preparing to proceed with a mass shooting. In the message, Mr. Blevins made a specific threat that included Wal-Mart. Working with the FBI, KCSO Investigators confirmed Mr. Blevins’ capability of following through with the threat and moved immediately to arrest him,” the sheriff’s office said in the press release.
Blevins, who lives in Kerrville, Texas, was arrested in the 1000 block of Junction Highway by deputies from the sheriff’s office along with representatives of the Texas Department of Public Safety, the Kerrville Police Department, the FBI, and the U.S. Secret Service, according to the press release. Officials said Blevins was on felony probation and barred from possessing firearms.
Blevins Was Sentenced to 10 Years of Probation When He Pleaded Guilty to Felony Drug Charges in 2016.
