ARLINGTON — Three people in a larger group who were videotaping Arlington police making a traffic stop late Saturday were arrested on suspicion of interfering with the officers’ work.

Two are active with the group Open Carry Tarrant County, which advocates for people to carry firearms openly. All three are reportedly active with Texas Cop Watch and the Tarrant County Peaceful Streets project, a group that records police officers as they go about their duties.

Kory Watkins, Open Carry Tarrant County coordinator; and his wife, Janie Lucero, each face charges of interference with public duties and obstructing a highway. Joseph Tye faces charges of interference with public duties and refusing to identify, police said Monday.

They were released from the Arlington Jail early Sunday after posting bail, according to police.
