Viral Karmelo Anthony Supporter’s Week Gets Worse

Jerome Winston Parker, a black supporter of convicted killer Karmelo Anthony who recently went viral for taunting a white Austin Metcalf supporter outside the Collin County Courthouse, was arrested this week on an outstanding warrant for unlawful carrying of a weapon, according to records obtained by Fox News.

Parker became a widely discussed figure during the murder trial after videos circulated online showing him confronting supporters of Metcalf, the 17-year-old whom Anthony was convicted of killing.

One of the most highly circulated clips showed Parker arguing with an older white man outside the courthouse. During the confrontation, Parker accused the man of harassing a black woman and being homophobic while repeatedly challenging him and attempting to provoke a response. 

In one widely shared video, Parker is seen shouting, dancing, and taunting the man from inches away.

“You ain’t gonna do sh*t, I’m dancing! You ain’t gonna do sh*t, I’m dancing!” Parker repeated while the man remained largely unmoved.

According to Fox News, Parker was first investigated on June 6 after an alleged unlawful carrying of a weapon incident in the courthouse parking lot during activities related to the trial proceedings. He was arrested on June 9 on the outstanding warrant. His bond was set at $1,000. 

Parker was not the only person arrested outside the courthouse during the highly publicized proceedings.

Sholdon Daniels, who was a Republican nominee for Texas’ 30th Congressional District before he lost in the May 26 primary, was also arrested on a charge of public intoxication. Daniels, who is black, argued with several Anthony supporters, saying Anthony “murdered that kid.”

Video from Fox News 4 showed Daniels being detained after a confrontation in the courthouse parking lot. During the incident, Daniels appeared to argue with members of the crowd before officers placed him in handcuffs.

Daniels later addressed the arrest on X, criticizing delays in the jail release process after bond has been posted.

“One lesson I’ve learned from our criminal justice system: posting bond and actually getting released are often two very different things,” Daniels wrote. “People routinely spend hours in jail after bond has already been approved because agencies are still relying on manual processes, duplicate paperwork, and outdated technology.”

“Texas should establish a statewide digital release system that electronically verifies bonds, notifies the jail instantly, and tracks release times.”

Anthony, 19, was convicted of murdering Metcalf and sentenced to 35 years in prison. He has appealed the case.
