Karmelo Anthony’s controversial alleged killing of white teen Austin Metcalf has turned into a race debate, heightening the tensions surrounding the case.

So when Collin County, Texas, Judge Angela Tucker lowered Anthony’s bond from $1 million to $250,000 and allowed him to be released under house arrest, there was outrage.

Now, following her ruling, Judge Tucker is under increased security, and the Sheriff’s Office said she’s received several threats, which even “court staff and concerned citizens” reported to the appropriate authorities.

The FBI is also looking into the source of the threats and whoever leaked personal information about the judge.

“If the individual responsible is identified,” the CCSO said according to TMZ, “potential charges could include Unlawful Disclosure of a Residence Address or Telephone Number and Obstruction or Retaliation.”

No word on the exact threats has been released, but Yahoo News reports that the judge made her X account private shortly after the hearing.

Gaining national attention, Austin Metcalf was killed on April 2nd while at a track meet in Frisco, Texas. About eight area high schools were gathered for the championship, and Metcalf saw 17-year-old Anthony in his school’s tent and told him to move. An altercation ensued, and Anthony reportedly stabbed Metcalf in the heart, leading to his death.

“Despite lifesaving measures by police and fire personnel, including CPR and the administration of blood, the 16-year-old victim died,” Frisco, Texas, Police said in a statement.

Anthony reportedly cooperated with authorities at the scene and is now claiming he acted in self-defense.

As part of his conditional release, he must wear an ankle monitor, stay inside his parents’ home under approved adult supervision, and is forbidden from engaging on social media or talking to his classmates.

His family also arrived at the courthouse with beefed-up security, which defense attorney Mike Howard says is a sign of the times.

“Unfortunately, as is common in our culture, especially lately, the vitriol and, you know, public reaction one way or the other has been intense and threats and talk of race, war and all kinds of insanity, isn’t good for, obviously, the Anthony family,” Howard told CBS. “It’s not good for the Metcalf family. It’s not good for the peace and safety of our community.”

The high school student is currently facing one count of first-degree murder, and his lawyer’s reasoning for lessening the bond was that Anthony has no criminal history.
