Lang is seeking to lower the $1 million bond that for over a week has kept him in custody in the Collin County jail, where he faces a charge of terroristic threat to place the public in fear of serious bodily injury, interrupting public services, or influencing a government, according to court records. On X, a representative for Lang said he was arrested for saying that if the jury did not find Anthony guilty, he “would take care of it himself.” Another post said Lang “jokingly said he would carry out capital punishment on Karmelo.”
Roach was at the helm when Anthony, 19, was sentenced on June 9 to 35 years in prison for the fatal stabbing of Austin Metcalf, 17, last year at a high school track meet in Frisco. The case drew national attention and ignited a firestorm of racist and divisive rhetoric. Anthony is Black. Metcalf was white.
Lang was arrested twice this month in connection with the case.
Lang, who lives in Florida, was first arrested on June 2 and charged with criminal trespass outside Frisco City Hall during a “Rally Against Rednecks.”
That arrest stemmed from an incident in April 2025 when Lang hosted a sparsely attended Protect White Americans rally outside the stadium where Metcalf was stabbed. Lang later posted a video on X saying he broke into the stadium.
Lang pointed to a dark streak on the ground near the bleachers and alleged it was Metcalf’s blood. School district officials said at the time the video was filmed on the opposite side of the stadium from where the stabbing occurred.
In that case, Lang was released from jail on June 3 on a $7,500 bond.
Lang was previously awaiting trial on several charges related to the Jan. 6 U.S. Capitol attack, including assaulting a law enforcement officer, when he and nearly 1,600 others received pardons last year from President Donald Trump.
Lang, who posted photos and videos of himself at the Capitol, could be seen in other posts swinging a baseball bat at officers, according to court documents.
