The Texas judge who reduced the $1 million bond for 17-year-old Austin Metcalf’s accused killer was targeted in a doxxing hoax, KDFW reported.
The Collin County Sheriff’s Office, in coordination with the FBI, is investigating the alleged doxxing of Collin County Judge Angela Tucker, who agreed to significantly reduce Frisco track meet stabbing suspect 17-year-old Karmelo Anthony’s bond.
“Due to the nature of the situation, we are coordinating with the FBI and our Fusion Center to monitor for any concerning rhetoric or propaganda that could incite violence,” the sheriff’s office told KDFW.
Doxxing, defined as a form of cyberbullying, involves publicly posting someone’s personal information without consent.
This type of harassment is illegal in the state of Texas if it involves posting another person’s private information without consent with the intent to cause harm or to incite harm against them, according to the Texas Penal Code.
If someone is harmed during a doxxing event, it also becomes a felony in Texas.
Local law enforcement officials told KDFW some court staff and concerned citizens reported that people were publishing Judge Tucker’s address on social media after she agreed to reduce Anthony’s bond, which was initially set at $1 million.
“Our main priority remains ensuring the judge’s safety, and appropriate security measures have been implemented,” the Collin County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement.
Anthony was released from jail after Tucker lowered his bond to $250,000. Tucker, who presided over a bond reduction hearing, claimed his was set “too high for someone with no criminal history.”
Anthony allegedly killed Metcalf over a seating dispute during a high school track meet in Frisco April 2. He was freed from the Collin County Jail after his bond was reduced from $1 million to $250,000. He is charged with first-degree murder.
Anthony reportedly confessed to stabbing Metcalf when he was arrested by a school resource officer at Kuykendall Stadium in the minutes after the attack.
When one officer told another he had the alleged stabbing suspect in custody, Anthony apparently said, “I’m not alleged. I did it,” according to an arrest report. *** The Metcalf family has also fallen victim to disturbing incidents since their son’s death. Jeff Metcalf, the father of the slain track star, told Fox News Digital his home was swatted hours after a heated press conference hosted by the spokesman for the family of Anthony.
Frisco Police confirmed there have been at least three swatting calls made at homes linked to the Metcalf family this month.
Swatting is when a 911 call is made, usually to report a fake violent crime, to get police and sometimes even SWAT teams, to respond to an address given by the caller. It has increasingly been used as an intimidation tactic to target high-profile individuals and political rivals.
Anthony’s family has also been targeted since Metcalf’s death, and Anthony was moved to an “undisclosed location” for his own safety, according to a group representing his family. Next Generation Action Network (NGAN), the group representing the Anthony family, shared a news release saying the threats included people loitering and taking photos of the Anthony family’s current address, unwanted food deliveries that NGAN said were “made to disturb and harass the family” and a mailing of Metcalf’s obituary to the home, which was also described as “disturbing.”
“We are sharing images and documentation of the threats the family has faced this past weekend to make the public aware of the dangerous atmosphere that has been created — an atmosphere fueled by organized hate, systemic racism and intentional misinformation,” the group said.
“It is both heartbreaking and infuriating to see the depths of hate and bigotry still alive and well in our society,” NGAN President Dominique Alexander said. “No family should have to live under siege simply because they are demanding their constitutional rights.
“We will not be silent, and we will not back down. We are committed to doing whatever is necessary to protect this family and to ensure that justice is pursued without intimidation or fear.”
The Frisco Police Department told Fox News Digital, “Our department does not have any reported cases involving the Anthony family being threatened.”

Thank you very much and God bless you.
1) a track meet-don’t forget to bring your running shoes, socks…and a knife
2) There is a GiveSendGo page up for the murderer, Karmelo Anthony. It has raised over $500,000. The comment section that accompanies the donations is full of anti-white vitriol and absolute delusion.
3) Dominique Alexander who is quoted in the article, is a black pastor who has numerous felonies and probation violations but of course hasn’t spent a day in jail. Restorative justice: Blacks are not responsible for their behavior and therefore not held accountable.
4) If you want to know why the judge lowered bail, here’s your answer:
Primary her asap.
Obviously swatting of a democrat judge or politician must be taken much more seriously than any others.
alleged doxing hoax? what does that even mean? Either it was doxing or it was not.
“Obviously swatting of a democrat judge or politician must be taken much more seriously than any others.”
I noticed that too.
Quite the long article. If it was a conservative, it would have been a short paragraph or two at best.
Aren’t the judges in court hearings a matter of public record? How is this doxxing?
At one time they were. I can’t say about now.
Notice how there has not been any video of the stabbing released anywhere?
It's said it's because the LEO confisicated people's phones and took the videos in as evidence....
And it's likely they will never release any of it, as it will make the karmelo look really bad....
and the anthony family is taking advantage of this lack of information to frame their own narrative.
Much like how Tennessee withheld any information on the Convanent school shooting manefesto from coming out... until they had to release that the shooter specifically chose the church school to she wanted to kill white people, because she thought blacks were cool and didn't want to appear racist, killing any of them.
Unfortunately, your theory falls apart in this case as the Judge is a Republican.
Yeah I’m certain the Republican judge voted for Trump.
Brown shirted goons.
Doxing the right is ok, but dox a liberal. Then it’s Game On, bring out the charges and arrest warrants.
I think they mean things like publishing the judge's residential address, phone number, and email address ...
I once sold a model railway car to a judge in Orlando and he had me send it to the courthouse, I assume so that it could be screened for bombs and stuff.
Actions have consequences. Live with it.
This is not unexpected. Judge did asinine thing and it has the appearance of being racist. She could, if not terminally lazy, get ahead of this with a public statement as to why. Details.
Expecting any aspect of the MSM to do this is evidence of terminal stupidity on her part.
Nice attempt at deflection. Initially, you stated that the judge is a Democrat. I responded that she is in fact a Republican.
Okay. You caught me. You win.
She can call herself anything she wants to get elected.
“Conservative” Republicans aren’t usually cutting loose admitted hate crime killers.
Then the State should close their online property websites.
Type in a name and a county and if a property is owned by that person the address information is available.
The State exposes ALL property owners every day...just for owning a house or property.
Double standards?
Not only that the local governments put the property deeds on line making it easier to steal and sell any bodies land. It’s a big racket.
So the victims family can be swatted several times and it’s ho hum....
