The information was that the personresponsible for breaking out the Auto Zone windows and who was known commonly as“Umbrella Man” is a MITCHELL WESLEY CARLSON, DOB: 04/25/1988.

So his name was the one they pulled out of their hat (ass)?

So if he's identified, where's the perp-walk?

He'll probably be as surprised as anyone when he gets arrested...

Thanks for posting that. The officer who made the declaration is really stretching the truth, so much that anyone with actual knowledge of what happened that night should doubt the veracity of the statement, and question the logic behind it.

In a short time after the front windows are broken out in the Auto Zone, looting started. Within a short time after the looting started, the Auto Zone was set on fire. This was the first fire that set off a string of fires and looting throughout the precinct and the rest of the city.
Until the actions of the person your affiant has been calling “Umbrella man,” the protests had been relatively peaceful. The actions of this person created an atmosphere of hostility and tension.

The first fire didn't set off a string of fires, the rioters started multiple fires and the rioters looted the stores, the police station, and other locations around the city. At best the person the police are so busy chasing broke some windows according to the affiant. They are not even alleged to be the arsonist who set the building on fire.

The tension and hostility came from the death of George Floyd followed by the instigations and actions of multiple left wing activists.

Suggesting that a single supposed white supremacist was able to effectively control the actions of thousands of protestors, many who are people of color, by breaking a few windows and spray painting a slogan seems completely illogical. Unless of course the person making the declaration actually thinks white people have such super powers that they can cause thousands of people of color to do their bidding. That's ridiculous.

I wonder if the affiant also believes that the Black people speaking on megaphones to lead the protests were somehow under the spell of a single white supremacist who left hours earlier. That's past ridiculous into crazy.

That warrant is an embarrassment. Once again the “relatively peaceful” BS line takes center stage. The Autozone windows were smashed at 6:32 PM (I assume CDT). How is that late afternoon, early evening? I find it interesting that the informant made sure that what he/she told the investigators matched up with the accepted rumors. How convenient.

Who confirmed suspect was a full fledged member of Hells Angels. Is this even a thing?
Why has there not been mention of his prison record? I assume he has one since he is supposedly a member of a known prison gang.
As for resemblances in the facial features. Very weak. You could probably line up a dozen Larsens, Andersons, Gundersons, Jensens and find the same facial features.

He might be the guy. But I sure don’t see just cause for assuming so in the warrant.
