A Texas County Judge and His Son Involved in Road Rage Confrontation with Amazon Workers
A road rage incident involving a Texas county judge, Pat Deen, and his son has recently surfaced. The altercation took place in Hudson Oaks, Texas, near Fort Worth, when an Amazon delivery van passed Judge Deen’s vehicle, nearly causing a collision, as reported by CBS Texas.
The delivery van was driven by JNae King and LaTierca Thrower, who continued on their route despite the near-miss with Deen’s vehicle.
Thrower, a rookie delivery driver, accused Judge Deen of confronting them aggressively after the incident. The situation escalated when Deen’s son, Gary Patrick Deen Jr., joined in and allegedly used racial slurs towards the women.
Despite the heated exchange, the women claimed that Deen’s son spat at them during the confrontation.
Police investigations revealed video evidence of the younger Deen spitting at the women, although no evidence of racial slurs was found.
Deen denied the allegations of spitting and defended his actions, citing damage to his vehicle as the trigger for his confrontational behavior.
The women filed assault charges against Judge Deen’s son following the incident.
Political Impact
Deen has been serving as the Parker County judge since 2018 and is seeking re-election in 2026. He faces opposition in the Republican primary and, if successful, will compete against Democrat Richard Simms in the general election.
The outcome of this incident and its aftermath could potentially influence Deen’s political career moving forward.
