Reports: SWAT Team Raids Dallas Gayborhood Apartment, Takes Gay Porn Actor Into Custody
READ TIME: 1 MIN.
A SWAT team reportedly raided an apartment Thursday in the Dallas, Texas gayborhood of Oak Lawn, according to reports from local publications, which cite tweets from NBC5 reporter Cory Smith, who documented the incident on social media.
Dallas police confirmed the raid to Dallas News, which reports four people were taken into custody, "after a series of loud booms were heard" as SWAT officials were serving a warrant.
Smith tweeted he heard the explosions around 12:50 p.m., which could have been flash bangs but police did not confirm to Dallas News if that was the case.
Smith also tweeted four people were arrested and posted photos of the incident.
A spokeswoman for Dallas police also confirmed the incident to the LGBT newspaper the Dallas Voice but did not offer any further details.
The Dallas Voice also writes "one of the men arrested [has] been identified by several sources as a former Club Stallions dancer who appeared in at least one Naked Sword Original porn films."
According to the gay porn news site Str8UpGayPorn (extremely NSFW), the man arrested is porn actor Cameron Diggs. The website writes Diggs has "made headlines and mainstream news throughout 2016 for his Nazi-era tattoos and admitted racist beliefs, which led to at least one gay porn studio pulling down Cameron Diggs content from their site."
VICE published an article on Diggs last year, which was written by Str8UpGayPorn's Zachary Sire, called "Will Social-Media Pressure Stop the Gay Porn Industry from Hiring Racists?"
It should be noted Dallas officials have not revealed the names of the men arrested nor confirmed if one of them is Diggs.
