A Karmelo Anthony supporter caught on camera aggressively taunting an older white man outside the Collin County courthouse, where the teen killer was convicted of murder, was arrested on weapons charges a short time later.
Winston Jerome Parker, 27, was among at least two protesters seen being busted outside court — with another being a criminal defense attorney who has run for Congress in Texas’s 30th Congressional District.
Parker had gone viral for a June 3 video in which he was seen jumping up and down just inches from the face of a man wearing an American flag polo shirt, who remained calm and stood his ground even as the buffoon menaced him in the most annoying way possible.
Jerome Winston Parker, who appeared on video in a viral confrontation outside Karmelo Anthony’s murder trial, was arrested. Collin County Sheriffs Office“I’m dancing and you ain’t gonna do s–t,” the dim-witted thug repeated over and over again, much to the delight of several other nearby Anthony supporters, who laughed and pumped their fists as they took out their phones to record the encounter.
But the fun didn’t last long for Parker, who hours later was slapped in ‘cuffs and taken into custody Tuesday for unlawful possession of a weapon, according to court records.
The Collin County Sheriff’s Office told the Daily Mail that Parker had an outstanding warrant for bringing a weapon to the parking lot of the courthouse last Saturday.
He was released on June 10 on a $1,000 surety bond. It was not immediately known if he had retained a lawyer.

FOX 4 NEWSThe killing of Metcalf, who was white, and Anthony’s subsequent conviction became a national flash point of racial tensions, with supporters surprised and outraged at the outcome of the case, despite the jury deliberating for less than three hours before handing down the guilty verdict.
