amphotora/Getty Images(FORT WORTH, Texas) Three people were arrested in Texas after one of them pepper-sprayed protesters outside a restaurant hosting a drag show, police said.
The incident unfolded in Fort Worth on Sunday afternoon when a small group of people from an anti-LGBTQ nonprofit called Protect Texas Kids arrived at Fort Brewery and Pizza to stage a protest across the street from the restaurant during a scheduled drag show. A group of counter-protesters dressed in black, wearing helmets and outer tactical vests also showed up and stood in front of the restaurant, many of them armed with handguns and long guns, according to the Fort Worth Police Department, which said it was monitoring both groups via a city-owned surveillance camera.
At approximately 12:50 p.m. CT, police observed a member of the counter-protest group later identified as Samuel Fowlkes, 20, of Weatherford, Texas cross the street and approach the Protect Texas Kids group, then allegedly spray them
