(April 17, 2008)—Waco police arrested two people late Thursday afternoon as a party near the Baylor University campus got out of hand.
One of the two people police arrested was subdued with a Taser after either throwing a beer container at an officer or trying to splash an officer with beer.
It wasn’t immediately clear whether either of the two taken into custody was a Baylor student, but Thursday is the university’s traditional play-day, Diadeloso, and classes were not held.
The afternoon party near the intersection of South 10th Street and Bagby Avenue swelled to several hundred people and police were called as the partygoers began to spill into the street.
Police eventually were able to clear the streets, but a number of people were still on lawns and sidewalks in the area Thursday evening.
Officers from the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission were called to help check for underage drinkers and minors in possession.
