U.S. Rep. Ronny Jackson, a former White House physician to Donald Trump, was briefly detained while trying to assist a medical emergency at a rodeo near Amarillo, his office said.
, The Texas Tribune’s daily newsletter that keeps readers up to speed on the most essential Texas news., R-Amarillo, was “briefly detained” by law enforcement while trying to help with a medical emergency at a rodeo Saturday night outside Amarillo, according to his office.
The local sheriff, Tam Terry, said in a statement that one person was “temporarily detained” while authorities responded to calls during a concert at the rodeo Saturday night, but Terry did not release the person’s identity. Terry said his department was “reviewing the incident” and would withhold any names until the review was complete. The sheriff declined to comment further.
Both Jackson’s office and the sheriff released statements Monday in response to questions about the incident from The Texas Tribune. “While assessing the patient in a very loud and chaotic environment, confusion developed with law enforcement on the scene and Dr. Jackson was briefly detained and was actually prevented from further assisting the patient,” the statement said. “He was immediately released as soon as law enforcement realized that he, as a medical professional, was tending to the young girl’s medical emergency.”
