I just noted this on the website for the Houston Chronicle, under the headline Baseball star among 8 held after scuffle with police at isle hotel:
Houston Astros pitcher Brandon Backe was among about eight people arrested early Sunday after a fight at the San Luis Resort, police said.
Your basic sports scuffle, right?
But the reason I'm posting this here is this, the second para into the story:
FEMA coordinator Jamie Ferrero was also placed in custody after the incident, which occurred shortly after midnight at the hotel's swimming pool bar.
Aaaaannnd that's all the Chron has to say on that. The rest is just the usual -- tasering, fistfights, pepper spray, bloody cops and choppering a man to the hospital. Sounds like th' good times are back in Galveston!
(Seriously, though -- rioting FEMA coordinators?)
UPDATE: Now the Chron is spelling the man's name Forero -- hmm.
