A Murfreesboro man who pulled a handgun at last year's "No Kings" rally in downtown Nashville is now in even deeper legal trouble, with a superseding federal indictment tacking on child pornography and additional firearms charges to his case.
The new filing builds on an investigation that began after officers disarmed him near Bicentennial Mall in June 2025.
A federal grand jury in Nashville has returned a superseding indictment that adds two counts of receiving child pornography, one count alleging possession of artwork that depicted children in sexual acts, and two more firearms counts, according to NewsChannel 5. Those allegations stack on top of an earlier federal complaint tied to a handgun seized at the protest.
In an earlier press release, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Middle District of Tennessee said the original federal complaint stemmed from Millar's June 14, 2025, appearance near Bicentennial Mall, when witnesses reported that he yelled at protesters, spat at people, and pulled a gun. Prosecutors said officers took a Sig Sauer 9mm at the scene, and that Murfreesboro police later recovered a second loaded 9mm handgun. The office also noted that Millar had been placed under a limited conservatorship in 2023 that barred him from possessing firearms, and that the FBI, the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department, and the Murfreesboro Police Department all assisted the investigation.
What the indictment says
The superseding indictment outlined by NewsChannel 5 alleges investigators tied Millar to additional weapons, including a Smith & Wesson .38-special and a Mossberg 12-gauge that were recovered during earlier searches, along with a Walther 9x19 mm pistol. The filing further claims that investigators uncovered digital files and artwork that prosecutors say showed minors engaged in sexual acts. Court records and local coverage state that Millar has remained in federal custody since his arrest.
Online posts and earlier flags
Authorities had already been watching Millar's online activity in the months before the protest. Tennessee Lookout reported that the FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force was alerted after a tip about social-media posts that included a photo of a shotgun engraved with the names of mass shooters and neo-Nazi symbols. Murfreesboro police told the outlet that officers visited his home in April as part of a related inquiry.
Legal next steps
The U.S. Attorney's Office will prosecute the federal counts in Nashville and says the case remains under active investigation. The office has emphasized that a complaint or indictment is an allegation and that the defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in court.
Receiving child pornography is a federal felony that can carry mandatory minimum prison terms under federal law, and the earlier unlawful-possession firearms charges carry their own potential penalties. Federal sentencing guidance sets out mandatory minimums for certain child-exploitation crimes, including those outlined by the U.S. Sentencing Commission on child-exploitation offenses (USSC) and in the U.S. Attorney's earlier press release on the firearms case (U.S. Attorney's Office).
