Dallas Protest Organizer Dominique Alexander Arrested on Felony Theft Charges
Dallas County Sheriff's deputies arrested Next Generation Action Network head Dominque Alexander on Thursday morning at his home in North Dallas on theft charges stemming from a 2016 dispute with an employer. Police took Alexander to Denton County Jail, where he was booked and released on $1,500 bail.
Alexander is best known for organizing the July 7, 2016, police brutality protest where a gunman opened fire on law enforcement personnel. He told the Dallas Observer that he's being charged in this case because of his notoriety on Dallas' protest scene.
"I'm so beyond outraged," Alexander says. "This is a bogus-ass charge. It's ridiculous."
Alexander says the charge stems from a dispute with a former employer he says he can't remember the name of the credit card processing company over unpaid bills by clients Alexander secured as an independent contractor.
