Far-Right Influencer Jake Lang, Pardoned for Jan. 6 Capitol Riot, Arrested in Texas on Charge of Making Terroristic Threats
The arrest follows repeated appearances outside the Karmelo Anthony trial, where Lang allegedly said he would take care of it himself if the jury did not convict.
- On Tuesday, authorities arrested far-right influencer Jake Lang in Dallas on a third-degree felony charge of making terroristic threats, holding him on a $1 million bond.
- The charges stem from allegations that Lang threatened to kill murder defendant Karmelo Anthony if the jury did not convict him, as Anthony's family reported receiving racially charged death threats.
- Lang, a Jan. 6 insurrectionist pardoned by President Donald Trump last year, has faced multiple recent arrests including a trespassing charge last week and property damage charges in Minnesota earlier this year.
- Andrew Anthony, the defendant's father, told CBS News on Wednesday he felt "somewhat relieved" by the arrest but added the family has "got a long journey ahead of us."
- Lang's legal troubles illustrate a pattern of frequent interjection into contentious public events, with law enforcement officials characterizing his repeated conduct as a disregard for legal restrictions.
