Meh, don't know if they are for real but:

COMMERCE, Texas - The police chief in Commerce, Texas is on administrative leave while an outside agency investigates his alleged role in a controversial arrest.
Carmen Ponder, who was the winner of the 2017 Miss Black Texas pageant, said she was driving to Walmart Saturday when she came up on a truck that she said was braking and accelerating erratically.
She said she passed the truck up and continued on to Walmart. The other driver followed her and pulled up alongside her.
This was the first story that I saw:

Carmen S. Ponder, Miss Black Texas U.S. ambassador 2016 and an intern with the Hunt County, Texas, District Attorney’s Office, is fighting for police accountability and justice after Commerce, Texas, Police Chief Kerry Crews reportedly called her a “black bitch” and then forced her to spend a night in jail.
Looks like Miss Ponder has enlisted the aid of Lee Merritt. Apparently this is the guy handling all of the high profile African American/police involved incidents.
Talking with people from Commerce who are well connected. Her story is completely skewed. I've known Kerry Crews for 10 years and never had a bad dealing with him. When I was running a bar in Commerce he helped out with several issues and was always a stand up guy. Hell, he doesn't even have a 14 year old daughter! From what I am hearing, the guy in the truck who followed her, is someone who is "well to do" in town. Kerry was inside of the store and saw the commotion on his way out and attempted to quell the situation. Miss Ponder spent the night in jail because she refused to answer questions and decided she would just leave the scene and go to her car, despite instruction to stay.
Her story has changed several times, as has the Fox 4 news article that was posted. Most recently from stating that the city manager confirmed that it was the chief in the truck, to the city manager not being able to confirm or deny the allegation.
