A Trump supporter who punched a counter-protestor in the face over the weekend at a Buc-ee’s in Denton is now under arrest.
A video of the incident was widely circulated on social media Saturday.
Denton Police Chief Frank Dixon announced Saturday evening that 44-year-old Jason Lata was arrested after a brief search.
He was being held on assault charges.
The victim was treated for his injures, which included a laceration under his eye, and a broken tooth. Several Trump supporters were meeting up in the Buc-ee’s convenience store parking lot to attend a rally.
