LPD makes arrest at bar
By César G. Rodriguez
LAREDO MORNING TIMES
Perhaps two men thought Rumors Country Patio was a mixed martial arts mat meant for sparring at around midnight Wednesday.Laredo Police Department officers responded to a fight in progress call at about 12:30 a.m. Wednesday at Rumors, 9803 McPherson Road, and Mario Perez II, 25, was arrested on charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, a second-degree felony.
Investigator Joe E. Baeza, LPD spokesman, said when officers arrived at the location, the two men were fighting in the parking lot.
“One of the males had the other male in a guillotine chokehold,” Baeza said.
Officers separated and detained the men, identified as Perez and Jose Gonzalez, 36.
Baeza said that allegedly Perez struck Gonzalez with a beer bottle after some altercation.
No! Not the guillotine chokehold!!!
Yes. The guillotine chokehold.
I wonder if police officers get ticked off for having to respond to these type of disputes. I'm sure it's not a treat having to haul in drunkards who all of a sudden think they're ultimate fighters. Even Cesar Rodriguez from the LMT seems annoyed. That first sentence in the story has a hint of sarcasm.
But who could blame him. The bar hoppers are 36, out late on a school night. At that age, you need to be at home, and in bed. You're approaching middle age. Like Prince said, "act your age, not your shoe size."
Dummies.

Liquid courage is serve there before the fight.
While I agree guys in their mid-30's and older shouldn't be strutting around competing for attention with 20-somethings at bars or elsewhere, I disagree with your blanket generalziation that it's somehow wrong for someone that age or older to go have a drink at midnight hours.
Maybe they don't work the next day, maybe they don't need much sleep or whatever, but if they're not causing any trouble it's no one else's business if they are out or at home. (yes, I've been known to have a drink post-midnight on a weeknight).
I am rushing to judgement, I realize that. And it's not wrong for anybody to be out at that time of night, but it does seem suspicious.
Ultimately, I don't care if you want to do that, but please, do behave yourselves.
Agree, the 6 year-old in this case, even if the 24 year-old was the instigator, most likely wasn't quietly minding his own business. Probably a fight over a woman or something.
this is the 3rd incident of someone hitting someone else over the head with a bottle within the last year at that joint. I wonder if they'll switch to those plastic long-necks you see at stadiums.
Could it be that Laredoans can't hold their drink, or drink responsibly? I know what most might think, "it happens everywhere." Please spare me that argument.
Machismo+Beer=Douchebaggery.
Douchebaggery indeed.
You know, it could be that these guys are just big hockey fans.
Why is it that most Laredo bars are just skanky. At least some in SA (North side) are pretty classy and fun, not scary and dangerous.
Now I know not to open up my own bar. I'm going to stick with my record store idea, and sell corn in a cup on the side.
That's the ticket!
Don't forget to hire "edecans", KR.
Search for "anel telcel" on youtube.
you're welcome.
Cute girl. Thanks.
I hope you can see the LMT story now. I've highlighted it in red.
Gawds, LMT articles are color coded too now?
It's 2010 ink, used for effect.
