Open Carry Texas founder wants Olmos Park police chief fired after arresting gun rights activists

CJ Grisham, the founder of Open Carry Texas, is free from legal trouble in Bexar County after Olmos Park police arrested him during a protest in March, but that doesn't mean he's put the incident behind him.

"This is not over," Grisham said. "They are not going to get away with what they did to me."

Grisham, who lives in Temple, returned to Olmos Park Wednesday morning to retrieve his property after prosecutors dropped all charges against him and fellow activist Jim Everard.

Grisham was accused of assaulting a police officer, interfering with the duties of a public servant and obstructing a roadway. Everard faced one charge of interfering with the duties of a public servant.
