New Braunfels police arrested two Austin men suspected of setting off fireworks outside of a city park on July 4, with one biting an officer trying to detain the pair, police said.
David Ferguson, city communications coordinator, said officers were called to the Prince Solms Park parking lot in the 100 block of Liebscher Drive around 10:50 p.m. on Sunday.
âAn officer observed people in the parking lot shooting off small fireworks,â he said. They made contact with the individuals, three males outside of a black pickup truck Ford F-150 and there were fireworks in plain view in the bed of the truck. Two of the males refused to identify themselves to officers and were being belligerent.â
