Pmedic didn't you work at that game?
I did not work the game.
I did see, meet, and briefly speak with MB though.
I’ll add this for a little clarification.
The way I understand the scenario, the injured party was not necessarily working as a “security guard” she was checking credentials at one of the on field access points.
MB’s credential did not match that particular access point. He was directed to the access point that did match his credentials, it was at that time the “incident” took place.
I’ll also add this for those that may be unaware.
MB, and his brother, are both HOUSTON boys, they went to High School here.
It’s my honest opinion, that the Houston PD is not “out to get” MB.
Having a working knowledge of how things happen around here, I’d bet that the PD & DA did all they could to avoid putting this before the Grand Jury.
I don’t have anything solid to validate that opinion but I do have strong reason to believe it fully.
Remember there is a big difference in a true “security guard”, and a person checking credentials in an already secured area.
MB would have never gotten to that point without very strong credentials.
He apparently simply didn’t like being told that he need to use a different access point.
I like many am glad this isn’t a Seahawk Issue even though he was a Hawk at the time.
I don’t think he should get the “max” if found guilty. I do think he should me made uncomfortable though.
I suspect that some form of “bargain” will be reached, and I doubt this ever actually goes to trial. MB better pray that it doesn’t, because becoming a convicted felon ain’t nothing nice. That would change his life substantially.
YMMV.
Edit:
In case I wasn’t clear.
Credentials would have been checked at least twice, and possibly 3-4 times before MB got to the point of actual “on field” access.
He was well behind the lines of “public” access.
This lady, although working for Stadium “security” was not working as a “security guard”.
