Shock at arrest of deputy’s son in black church fires By KEVIN MCGILL and MELINDA DESLATTE Associated Press OPELOUSAS, La. — Authorities said he had no known criminal record. A friend described him as an introverted animal lover who showed no animosity toward any race, and a talented, if frustrated heavy metal gui- tar player and singer. A fellow musician called him “a really sweet guy.” But Holden Matthews, the white, 21-year-old son of a Louisiana sheriff’s dep- uty, was behind bars Thurs- day, accused of torching three century-old African Ameri- can churches during a 10-day period in and around Opelou- sas. The city of 16,000 peo- ple was set on edge by blazes, which evoked memories of terrorist acts during the civil rights movement. A fragment of a charred gasoline can, surveillance video that captured what appeared to be his par- ents’ truck in key locations, debit card records and cell- phone tracking techniques led authorities to arrest Mat- thews on Wednesday evening. But though the arrest affidavit showed how they linked Mat- thews to the crime, federal, state and local authorities who gathered for a Thursday news conference at the St. Landry Parish Sheriff’s Office weren’t AP Photo/Leslie Westbrook, File In this April 4, 2019, file photo, firefighters and fire investi- gators respond to a fire at Mt. Pleasant Baptist Church, in Opelousas, La. ready to discuss motive. Eric Rommal, the agent in charge of the New Orle- ans FBI office, said investi- gators were still looking into whether the fires were “bias motivated.” Matthews, who is sched- uled for a Monday morning bond hearing, had a defender in Nygyl Bryyn Blackwolf, listed as Nygyl Bryyn among Matthews’ Facebook friends. Blackwolf identified himself as a south Louisiana native, musician, entrepreneur and owner of the independent record label Power Back Pro- ductions. In a telephone inter- view from Los Angeles on Thursday, he described Mat- thews as a talented, some- times frustrated musician — upset in recent months after he was told he needed to improve the quality of his recordings — but not a racist or violent person. “If he’s making a state- ment, it’s against religion and establishment only, not against race,” he said, later adding, “I don’t think he did it, but if he did, it would not be because the churches are black.” Blackwolf, 36, a native of him.

Josh Cook, 27, a musician from Hammond, Louisiana, said he heard about the church burnings before Matthews’ arrest and had wondered if they could have been inspired by the church fires in Norway. He said there is an “elitist” ele- ment of the black metal music scene that is fascinated with those church burnings. 4/15 Cineplex Show Times $5 Classic Movie 4/17 • 12 PM HARVEY Hellboy (PG13) 4:00 6:40 9:20 12:00* 4:30 6:50 2:20* 9:10 Missing Link (PG) 4:30 6:50 9:10 Shazam!
