The two were arrested outside the Collin County courthouse after Carmelo Anthony’s conviction

The man at the center of the controversy over the murder of Carmelo Anthony was arrested outside the courtroom where Anthony was convicted of murder earlier this week, one of at least two arrests made during the racially charged trial.

Both were arrested shortly after Anthony’s sentencing was announced Tuesday, the Collin County Sheriff’s Office confirmed to Fox News Digital.

The person involved in the fight, identified as Jerome Winston Parker, was arrested on a charge of unlawful possession of a weapon, according to the Collin County Sheriff’s Office.

Police say the case stems from an incident that allegedly took place in the court’s parking lot during “judgment-related decisions” three days ago on June 6.

Parker was arrested Tuesday and remains in custody on a $1,000 bond.

On Tuesday, he appeared to come face-to-face with a fan of Austin Metcalf, arguing to support Anthony in heated arguments outside the courtroom.

“I practice law in Collin County, Texas,” Daniels said in one X. “Karmelo Anthony will be found guilty and sentenced to life in prison. As he should be. He killed this boy because he was raised to hate white people and see himself as a victim in every situation. It’s a cultural thing.”
