Don’t know about that. There was some asset seizure which I do not understand at all.

>>> There was some asset seizure which I do not understand at all. <<<

That relates to the vehicles seized after the shooting but I read a short paragraph in an article relating to a LLC that Swenton was running on the side that dealt in stolen property recovered in sting operations. I thought it was pretty shady.

I’ll see if I can find the quote again.

Found it. Just a brief mention that may either be valid or just hypergolic, but I expect there’s at least a grain of truth there.

The asset seizures are interesting, in that they show how the prosecutor is actually able to articulate probable cause when he wants to.

Looking at the seizure of David Martinez's (Bandidos President, Dallas) motorcycle, the affidavit recites viewing dashcam footage showing Martinez firing a handgun at the scene. Texas code allows contraband involved in criminal activity to be seized, and the motorcycle was used to transport Martinez and weapons to the scene of what turned into a fight.

Not to say the seizure is a slam dunk given, Martinez may have grounds to fight it, but that is a fact-intensive (and law intensive) inquiry. For example, if he can show that his firing the handgun was self-defense.
