According to reports, Backe was attending a wedding at the Island Convention Center. After the reception, he and a group of people from the wedding party went to the H20 bar in the San Luis Resort to continue the celebration.

The brawl started before the group entered the bar.  

Galveston City Manager Steve LeBlanc said one of the men had an open container of liquor.  When told by an on-duty officer outside of H20 that he could not enter the bar with the alcohol, the wedding guest allegedly shoved the officer.

LeBlanc said the officer called for backup, and when the group resisted arrest, a brawl broke out.

Two people were Tasered during the altercation, and pepper spray was also used. One of the Tasered men was injured during the fight and taken by Life Flight to a Houston hospital. There have not been open hospitals on the island since Ike hit.

LeBlanc said the officers used what force was necessary to get control of the situation.

Charges range from public intoxication, to assaulting an officer, to resisting arrest.  LeBlanc did not say what Backe was charged with, but did say that only those individuals who were combative with the officers were arrested.

Police will have an initial report on Monday.

The wedding reception was the first event at the Island Convention Center since Hurricane Ike struck on September 13. It was also the first night that the Galveston curfew was pushed back from 6 p.m. to midnight.
