EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) – A “suspicious subject” at the center of a viral social media post did not commit a crime and was therefore released from custody, police announced.
According to police, officers detained the man at about 7 p.m. at the 900 block of Stanton.
The post accuses the man of brandishing a knife and having a loaded gun, ammunition, and a white powdered substance in his vehicle.
However, investigators interviewed the man and released him after they “determined that no criminal offense had been committed.”
