‘I pray you pieces of trash that don’t even have your name attached to these accounts know how much worse the world is with you in them.
‘Don’t ever insult my parents. Don’t ever insult anyone’s parents. If anyone knows who runs this account, please tell me. I’m so tired of this s***.’

He was held in custody in the Craig County Jail.
Following his release, he further explained the situation on X, formerly known as Twitter.
‘Today I had an incident with the Oklahoma Highway Patrol. Emotions got the best of me and I was out of line in the things I said.
‘I support law enforcement as much as anyone can, I was just frustrated in the moment, it was unlike me and I apologize. They brought me to jail, and there is a mug shot of me floating around.
