Outrageous! Anthony Ealy, a 32-year-old state congressman from Missouri, a Democratic Party in the United States, just won his third consecutive election victory on the 3rd. On the 4th, he was arrested in Jefferson City for threatening to kill others.

According to the New York Post, Yili made a loud noise next to a family's funeral and caused chaos. Others stepped forward to try to defuse the situation. Unexpectedly, Yili claimed that he had a gun and rushed towards the other party, shouting, "I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you."

Ely was arrested at his home 20 minutes after the incident. He denied that he had threatened the lives of others or mentioned guns, pointing out that he was pushed away with a bat by others while smoking. After his arrest, Ely was once held in the Cole County Jail. He was released on the 6th and is currently charged with disturbing the peace and other crimes.

It is understood that Ely will be elected to represent the Grandview district of the Missouri House of Representatives in 2022, becoming the first African-American state representative in Grandview. In the election on the 3rd, he won 68% of the vote to complete his third consecutive term (each term is 2 years).
