One of the people President Trump honored for his heroism during a mass shooting in an El Paso Walmart last month was arrested by the Secret Service during his visit to the White House on Monday due to an outstanding criminal warrant, law enforcement officials told the Washington Examiner.
Police say his tale of heroics does not match video evidence. Chris Grant, 50, was shot in the ribs and a kidney during the Aug. 3 rampage that claimed 22 lives. He was not present for a White House ceremony Monday, but his mother Minnie Grant, 82, accepted a signed certificate on his behalf.
Grant said in a series of interviews that he sought to spare fellow shoppers by picking up bottles and throwing them at the gunman, with at least one hitting or nearly striking him. A Gofundme account raised $16,917 on his behalf. Grant was photographed when he arrived at Washington's Reagan-National Airport and outside the White House with his family.

No good deed goes unpunished.
Deep State update.
The loony left are gonna go nuts over this.
Every Saint has a past. Every sinner has a future.
They detained him and then let him go.
In this day of shameful GoFundMe scams, every story of heroes and victims should be thoroughly investigated.
“Grant has a criminal record for theft and evading arrest, according to Texas court documents reviewed by the Washington Examiner.
He was sentenced to eight months in prison for car theft in March, after pleading guilty to stealing a silver 2009 Mazda 6.
In 2016, he pleaded guilty and was also sentenced to 18 days in jail for stealing TVs from a Sears in Richardson, Texas.
He pleaded guilty to evading arrest in Collins County in 2016.”

Sears is still around?
“He was in the process of shoplifting when the shooter burst on the scene”
If El Paso PD is so on top of this guy why didnt they arrest him instead of ~~ OH $hit the Secret Service did a back ground check and we now have to blame our ineptness on the Feds......
According to the article he was protesting with anti gun nuts. F him.
“Never let a cris, er, opportunity to grand-stand with false claims and grab Go Fund Me bucks go to waste”.
And the warrant is forgotten as the issuing agency would not pay the fare to extradite and bring him back.
Yep.
