Summary

  • $1 million bond was set after Jake Lang, 31, was booked into Dallas County Jail on a terroristic threat charge tied to alleged conduct that disrupted public services and caused public fear.
  • Jail records gave no further details, but a later related report said the alleged threat targeted Karmelo Anthony during his murder trial and included a threat to shoot him if he was not convicted.
  • Frisco police arrested Lang after he ate at Pizzeria Testa, hours after FOX 4 crews spotted him outside the Collin County courthouse where protesters had gathered for the Anthony case.
  • The arrest came days after Lang was jailed and released on a criminal trespass warrant in Frisco; the Jan. 6 Capitol defendant had also been charged earlier this year in Minnesota property-damage case.
