WEB Video Released by Texas Law Enforcement on Monday Shows US Representative Detained
Footage Shows Representative Jackson Being Detained at a Roadblock After Allegedly Failing to Signal
Video Released by Texas Department of Public Safety Raises Questions About Representative's Conduct
On Monday, the Texas Department of Public Safety released a video that shows US Representative Ronny Jackson being detained by law enforcement at a roadblock. The video, which was captured by a body camera worn by a Texas Highway Patrol trooper, shows Jackson being stopped after allegedly failing to signal a turn. In the video, Jackson can be seen arguing with the trooper and refusing to provide his identification. The trooper eventually arrests Jackson and takes him to jail.
The release of the video has raised questions about Jackson's conduct. Some have questioned why Jackson refused to provide his identification to the trooper. Others have suggested that Jackson's behavior was an attempt to avoid being arrested. The incident is currently under investigation by the Texas Rangers.
Jackson, a Republican, has served in the US House of Representatives since 2013. He is a former physician to the President and was once considered to be a potential candidate for President of the United States. The incident is likely to damage Jackson's reputation and could have a negative impact on his political career.
