What led to the October 2025 arrest in Texas
Court records show an October 2025 arrest in Nacogdoches, Texas, that was logged as an assault charge.
Legal classification and outcome
- The charge was a Class C misdemeanor under Texas law.
- Penalties for that class typically do not include jail time and are limited to a fine.
