‘Very loud and chaotic’: Trump’s White House doctor ‘briefly detained’ at Texas rodeo

Republican Texas Rep. Ronny Jackson, the former Trump White House doctor, was briefly detained on Saturday at a rodeo outside Amarillo after trying to assist a 15-year-old girl in a medical emergency, according to The Texas Tribune.

Jackson saw the incident and attempted to assist the nurse who was already providing aid to the girl. In the intensity of the situation, police became confused and detained Jackson until they realized he was trying to help the girl, according to 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. 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,” Jackson’s office told the Daily Caller News Foundation.

Jackson was “in the stands during the entire rodeo, in full view of the assembled crowd, and was not drinking,” a spokesperson from Jackson’s office told the DCNF.

The police department is currently reviewing the incident but decided not to release any of the names involved, Sheriff Tam Terry told The Texas Tribune.

Ronny Jackson currently serves as a Republican in the U.S. House of Representatives for the 13th district of Texas. He is a loyal supporter of Donald Trump and verbally supports his 2024 run for office. Jackson also served in the Navy before working in the White House.

The incident took place at White Deer Rodeo in a town 40 miles outside of Amarillo.
