Holden Matthews, 21, has been booked into the St. Landry Parish jail on suspicion of arson...Matthews is the son of St. Landry Parish Deputy Roy Matthews. Authorities have not released a mug shot of the suspect.
The first fire took place last month at the St. Mary Baptist Church in Port Barre on March 26. The second happened April 2 at the Greater Union Baptist Church in Opelousas, while the latest came two days later at the Mount Pleasant Baptist Church, also in Opelousas.

Thanks, a-hole, have fun in jail! /s
Hadn’t heard about this. Looked for pic figuring it was a black kid doing a set up racism thing.
Nope. He’s white. And I hope he rots in a cell.
Exactly
Class A turd
Do they ever refer to St. Patrick’s Cathedral in NYC as “historically white?” Just curious...
He will regret this stupid, senseless act. And as mentioned in the video by citizens...hope they catch them all and punish them for their hateful act.
My guess:
He’s Left wing agitator......................
Honestly, this is the first story of its kind I can remember being NOT fake.
I don’t know what his politics are, but his soul is owned by Satan.
Sick and sad.
The “Don’t y’all know who muh daddy is” defense didn’t work.
Can’t post pics, but here is a link - https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=300977567315675&set=a.118954408851326&type=3&theater
Holden Matthews took an interest in black metal and pagan social media pages.
He also says on his Facebook page that he is the lead singer and songwriter of a band called Vodka Vultures.
A 21-year-old named Holden Matthews has been arrested in connection with fires that destroyed three Louisiana churches in the span of two weeks.
Holden Matthews’ Father Turned Him in to the Authorities.
Throughout the end of March and in early April, three churches in rural St. Landry Parish were burned down. Matthews is reportedly the son of a St. Landry Parish Deputy, and he was booked into St. Landry Parish jail at about 5:30 this evening. Holden’s family declined to comment to.
On a Facebook page that appears to belong to Matthews, he was active in black metal and pagan pages. Although both scenes are predominately apolitical, both have large neo-Nazi fanbases. Matthews commented on two memes about Varg Vikernes, a far-right (and self-described former neo-Nazi) metal musician who served 15 years in prison for burning churches in Norway and killing a fellow metal musician.
Vikernes, a practitioner of pagan beliefs, described the arsons as having been “revenge” for Christian actions against pagan Viking graves. Vikernes has been cited by other far-right killers. Norwegian white supremacist Anders Breivik sent Vikernes a copy of his manifesto before going on to kill 77 people.
Matthews commented on two memes about Vikernes. Neither comment was particularly revealing, but they indicated his familiarity with the fringe figure. The pagan circles Matthews and Vikernes frequented can be popular with neo-Nazis. Matthews frequently posted about pagan beliefs, and recently uploaded a picture of a gun and a knife with the caption “I carry this.....maybe not legally but I only truly follow the law of Odin..... which says as you said,arm yourself...... Odins advice modern law.” Odin is a pagan Norse god.
One of the pagan pages Matthews was active on specifically forbade racism and “nazi stuff.” Matthews also appeared aware of the religion’s white supremacist associations. In one post, a group member noted that a drawing of a pagan figure had a swastika-like design on his belt. “well yea the belt gives him extra strength and power.....white power lmao” Matthews wrote.”
In the span on 10 days, three predominantly black churches were destroyed in what officials described “suspicious” fires. The fires occurred at St. Mary Baptist Church, Greater Union Baptist Church, and Mount Pleasant Baptist Church on March 26, April 2, and April 4, respectively. Another “intentionally set” fire was also reported on April 7 at the predominantly white Vivian United Pentecostal Church a few hours away.
“There certainly is a commonality, and whether that leads to a person or persons or groups, we just don’t know,” State Fire Marshal H. Browning reportedly said in a news conference last week. The FBI and ATF have also investigated the fires.
Heavy.com talks about him being apagan, being in an online group which banned racism etc... IMO, He might have hatred of Christian people & places/symbols.
Nutcase kid...probably will be diagnosed as paranoid schizophrenic.
Prayers for his Father... what a horrible thing to have to face.
White 21 year old evil jerk... It’ll be a story quoted for years as proof all white people are racist. Watch - it’ll come up in democrat debates..
White 21 year old evil jerk... It’ll be a story quoted for years as proof all white people are racist. Watch - it’ll come up in democrat debates... The press knows how to paint with a broad brush when it comes to trying to prove all white people are racists..
