A 25-year-old man has been arrested after allegedly shoving a park ranger into a lake in Austin, Texas, where the official was trying to tell a group of young people about the coronavirus lockdown rules.
Video of the incident shows ranger Cassidy Stillwell urging a crowd of college-age people to disperse on the dock at Commons Ford Ranch Metro Park, near Lake Austin, on April 30.
The young people were “unlawfully drinking and smoking,” according to an arrest affidavit obtained by multiple outlets, including CNN.
Stillwell was in the middle of telling the group to keep “six feet of distance” between themselves and others when a man came up and shoved him into the water.
