Son and grandson of man being executed arrested during execution

Two men were arrested after allegedly throwing fists and swearing during an execution in Texas.

Billie Wayne Coble, 70, was put to death by lethal injection nearly 30 years after murdering his wife’s parents and brother.

His son and grandson, Gordon Wayne and Dalton, allegedly became violent witnessing his death and were arrested after swearing and lashing out.

The pair were later released on bail of $1,000 (£755).

Gordon Wayne Coble’s wife also allegedly caused a disturbance but was not charged.
