Two men were arrested Saturday evening in West Campus for allegedly throwing bottles at a man walking on the street beneath the suspects’ apartment. The victim said the suspects shouted racial slurs at him....

The officer was dispatched to a disturbance call stating that three white males threw bottles at the caller, who is black, and yelled racial slurs....

The victim told police that the three men threw the bottles while yelling “F— you, n—–!” He also said the three came down to fight after he told them he was calling police. He gave the officers descriptions of the three men: one wearing an Astros jersey, the second wearing an orange University of Texas shirt and the third wearing a blue button-up shirt. The officer says he drove only 30 feet down the road when a call came over the radio that the suspects were on their balcony, looking down at police; the suspects then went quickly inside....

The officer noted that both suspects were swaying while they stood and both had a strong odor of alcohol on their breaths, as well as slurring their speech. Both told police that they had been “partying all day.”

In vino veritas.
