Yes, he famously had a copy of it on him and was sat down reading it while waiting for the police to come arrest him. When asked his name, he replied, "Holden Caulfield".

I disagree with suggestions I've seen that this book can act as a catalyst for people to act out violently; to me that's the same as the lazy argument that movies and video games cause violence. It's always easier to blame entertainment and surface level stuff than to actually look at the root cause and address it.
