The Protect Texas Kids group arrived at a restaurant on Sunday to stage their demonstration when the counter-protesters showed up, dressed in black, wearing helmets and outer tactical vests, and many of them were armed with handguns and long guns. The FWPD monitored both groups using city cameras and made it clear that they respect everyone\u2019s constitutional rights to free speech and assembly, but they are also focused on ensuring there is a safe environment that respects all participants\u2019 constitutional rights, while effectively maintaining public peace and order. During the event, a member of the counter-protest group, Samuel Fowlkes, approached the \u2018Protect Texas Kids\u2019 protesters and sprayed them with pepper spray. When police tried to arrest Fowlkes, he allegedly \u201cbegan to evade officers and then swung his closed fists at officers who tried to stop him.\u201d Backup was called to help secure the scene while officers tried to place Fowlkes and another member of the counter-protest group, Christopher Guillott, under arrest. A third counter-protester, Meghan Grant, attempted to charge past FWPD officers multiple times to gain access to Fowlkes and Guillott. Fowlkes was charged with assault causing bodily injury X 4, evading arrest\/detention, resisting arrest, and assault on a peace officer. Guillott was charged with interference with public duties and assault on a peace officer. Grant was charged with interference with public duties and resisting arrest.
