Third Protest Planned in Grayson

Austin Johnson

Law enforcement agencies in Carter County are preparing for another round of protests on Sunday. 

For the past two weeks, Black Lives Matter Advocates and counter-protestors have gathered in Grayson’s downtown.   Assault charges are pending against one individual who attacked someone at the protest last weekend.

Grayson Police Chief Travis Steele says one protest organizer has been accused of threatening the city. 

Steele says the protests have been attended largely by people from outside the county, but law enforcement agencies in Grayson are spending significant funds to maintain the peace.
