      In July 2023, Jackson was briefly detained by law enforcement in White Deer, Texas during a rodeo. Video of the incident showed that Jackson was attempting to assist a teenager suffering from a seizure. After being asked by a trooper to step back to allow paramedics to take over, Jackson shouted profanities at him. Jackson lunged at the trooper and was physically held back by bystanders. After Jackson pushed past officers who positioned themselves between him and the trooper, he was taken down and handcuffed. Jackson was soon uncuffed and said that he would call the governor. Jackson later spoke to Carson County Sheriff Tam Terry, with Terry reporting that Jackson demanded consequences for the deputies who handcuffed him and threatened to go after Terry politically.
