SAN ANTONIO – A man was arrested early Thursday morning after what officials described as dangerous and illegal activity during post-game celebrations following a Spurs game two win.
According to the San Antonio Police Department, officers were patrolling near SW Military Drive due to an increase in traffic and spectators after the Spurs’ game two win.
Around 12:40 a.m. on May 7, officers observed a car “burning out” on Logwood Avenue, putting nearby celebrators at risk.
The driver was identified as 20-year-old Jesus Arredondo. Officers made contact with Arredondo and found a gun while searching his property.
SAPD said it supports lawful celebrations by fans but said they need to maintain public safety, especially when large crowds of people and vehicles gather in the same area.
