A senior police official identified him as Eric Casebolt. He was being interviewed Monday by an internal police investigator reports NBC news.
Police officers were first called to the scene about 7:15 p.m. (8:15 p.m. ET) Friday to respond to a disturbance at the Craig Ranch Community North Pool in the Dallas area. Several more calls came in reporting that juveniles at the pool were “actively fighting,” police said.
McKinney Police Chief Greg Conley said officers at the scene “encountered a large crowd that refused to comply with police commands.” Eventually, 12 officers converged on the party, he said. No one was injured, he said.
