Uvalde Parent Says He Was Arrested For Saying 'F**k' At County Meeting

Brett Cross, whose son died in the 2022 mass shooting at a Uvalde, Texas, elementary school, said in a TikTok video Monday night that he was arrested earlier in the day for cursing in a county commissioners’ meeting.

“I was literally arrested for saying ‘f**k’ in a commissioner’s court because Mariano Pargas wants to sit there and act like he did nothing wrong when he knew that there were eight to nine kids that were still alive in a classroom and he walked the fuck away,” Cross said in his video, .

Cross was arrested Monday morning after he yelled at Pargas, a Uvalde commissioner who was the acting Uvalde Police chief when the shooting at Robb Elementary occurred.

In Cross’ TikTok video, he shared footage from the meeting, which shows him questioning why Pargas had been absent from recent county commissioner’s meetings. When Judge William Mitchell warns Cross to watch his language, Cross yells, “Language, language, language. My child is fucking dead. Dead. And you have the balls and the gall to stand up here.”

Cross was then escorted out, arrested and charged with disrupting a meeting or procession, according to CBS affiliate KENS 5. Uvalde Police referred HuffPost to the Uvalde County Sheriff’s Office, which made the arrest. The sheriff’s office did not return a request for comment.
