The Democratic challenger for Fort Bend County Precinct 3 commissioner is facing charges for allegedly creating a fake social media account to post racist comments directed at himself after the Republican incumbent requested an investigation last year. 

 According to arrest warrant documents, Pct. 3 Commissioner Andy Meyers requested the Fort Bend County District Attorney's Office begin an investigation in October regarding the source behind several social media posts directed at his opponent, Taral Patel. 

 This came after Patel, 30, issued a statement on his social media accounts with a collage of racist posts that he claimed were directed at him. Although many of the usernames were concealed, Meyers told investigators he recognized an account that went by the name "Antonio Scalywag" as someone who had attacked him before. 

 Investigators found that the fake account used a profile photo that belonged to someone else. The DA's office issued a subpoena to Facebook and Google, which allowed them to obtain account data that matched Patel's address, phone number, Texas driver's license number, bank card number, and other personal information.

You would think that after ONE got caught, others would get "Smart". Nope!! NOT going to happen!! STUPIDTY runs in the LWNJ DNA!!

Taral Patel, the Democratic candidate for Fort Bend County Precinct 3 commissioner, has been arrested once an investigation determined he was the one sending racist messages to himself. It’s a digital Jussie Smollett event (via ABC 13): 

ABC 13 added that last Wednesday, Texas Rangers placed Pated under arrest, charging him with “third-degree felony charge for online impersonation and a Class A misdemeanor charge for misrepresentation of identity, which is found under the Texas Election Code.”
