A former Texas congressional candidate, Sholdon Daniels, was arrested outside the Collin County Courthouse after a verdict in the Karmelo Anthony and Austin Metcalf case. Daniels, a Republican nominee for Congress in Texas’ 30th Congressional District, was booked into the Collin County Jail on a charge of public intoxication.

Background of the Case

The case began during a regional track meet at Kuykendall Stadium, where Anthony, a student at Centennial High School, was sitting under the Memorial High School team tent. Metcalf, a student at Memorial High School, allegedly told Anthony to leave, which led to a confrontation between the two teens. Anthony claimed he was acting in self-defense.

The case drew widespread attention online, with many attendees gathering outside the courthouse to show support for both sides. The atmosphere outside the courthouse was tense, with hundreds of people waiting for news in the case.

Daniels’ arrest was not the only one outside the courthouse. A second person was also taken into custody, although authorities have not released the person’s identity or details about the arrest.
