A-J Media A man who brandished an assault rifle at a Black Lives Matter protest in Lubbock has been sentenced to 46 months in federal prison. Emmanuel Quinones, a 25-year-old Lubbock man, was charged via criminal complaint in early June and indicted a week later following the incident at a Black Lives Matter protest May 30 at the Tim Cole Memorial in Lubbock. He pleaded guilty to interstate threatening communications in September and was sentenced on Tuesday by U.S. District Judge James Wesley Hendrix, according to Acting U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Texas Prerak Shah. “The Department of Justice stands firmly against anyone and everyone who seeks to instill terror and encourage violence,” said Shah. “This sentence sends a clear message that our office will continue to work with our law enforcement partners to apprehend and charge all violent instigators, while protecting those who want to lawfully exercise their constitutional rights.”
