Waco Police tasered and arrested a US Secret Service agent at a downtown Waco bar after a scuffle.
The arrest affidavit say the dispute between the special agent and a bar manager at Crickets all got started.
Police say there were reports that in the early morning hours of July 21, 30-year-old John Scott Lewis was being rude to some customers at Cricket's Bar and Grill.
Lewis is a special agent with the US Secret Service and is from Crofton, Maryland.
The report and Police say Lewis got into an argument with the manager and when the manager asked him to leave, Lewis pushed open the front door so hard it cracked.
Two off-duty Waco officers working security tried to arrest Lewis; he resisted, and was tasered one time.
Lewis was charged with Public Intoxication, Reckless Damage, and Resisting Arrest.
He was treated and released at Hillcrest Hospital and then was booked into the McLennan County Jail.
Lewis posted a 1,000 dollar bond.
Officials with the Waco Secret Service division say they will not comment, and the owner of Cricket's isn't speaking either.
Come on, haven't these police officers heard of entitlement. /sarc
NYP headline: "Agent goes whacko in Waco"
"Lewis is a special agent with the US Secret Service and is from Crofton, Maryland."
Don't bring your yankee bad attitude to Waco Texas.
sounds hush hush
Uh, the border between PA and MD is sometimes referred to as the Mason-Dixon Line. MD is/was part of Dixie.....
Bingo!
He was investigating claims that Iran was trying to purchase yellowcake ore from Waco.
I wonder if he was the Presidential security team at the rance in Crawford?
If so, I have a strong suspicion that he'll be re-assigned very soon.
Holy crap, that's horrible writing.
Don't bring your [SORRY A$$] yankee [GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEE] bad [A$$ WANNBE] attitude to [ANYWHERE SOUTH OF THE MASON-DIXON LINE, AND ESPECIALLY] Waco Texas..............
The special agent was probaly suffering from the heat, and had too much to drink and became "rude" to the other bar patrons. Didn't they know he has special privliges because he is a federal officer? Shame on them. (note sarcasm tag)
MD quit being considered a part of Dixie in 1861..........
Slightly off subject, but I'm willing to bet that most of us know 8th graders who could have done a better job of writing that story.
We need a Special Counsel to see if the WACO police outed this agent.
Not so special after all.
