The complaint stemmed from an incident involving Backe and several other partygoers after a wedding reception on Oct. 5 at a hotel bar in Galveston. Backe was at the bar when the incident occurred. Backe was arrested and charged with interfering with a police officer. Following the Oct. 5 incident, during which police used tasers and pepper spray, a number of witnesses have alleged through various media reports that Galveston police used excessive force.
Astros pitcher Brandon Backe filed a complaint with the FBI, alleging that the police in Galveston, Texas violated his civil rights, according to the AP. "I have initiated a formal complaint against the officers involved for their actions against the clients I represent for violating their civil rights," said Bob Moen, Backe's attorney.Backe and 10 others were arrested when a fight broke out at a wedding reception. Eyewitnesses say the police used unnecessary and brutal force.
News: Astros pitcher Brandon Backe was among 10 people arrested during a brawl with police at a weekend wedding reception in a Galveston hotel bar. The bride's father, 19-year-old brother and a FEMA coordinator were also arrested Sunday at the hotel, a command center for emergency workers after Hurricane Ike went through Galveston Island on Sept. 13. Police spokesman Capt. Walter Braun said an internal affairs investigation has been launched. The 30-year-old Backe, a member of the wedding party, ignored police orders to back away from the fight, and struggled with officers who attempted to handcuff him, according to police reports. One officer said he Backe twice in the face before handcuffing him. Both the officer and Backe sustained minor injuries during the fight, according to the police report. Backe was charged with interfering with a police officer and resisting arrest, misdemeanors.
Analysis: Backe finishes the season with a 6.05 ERA and doesn't have enough upside for you to think he'll rebound in a major way next season. Leave him for NL-only leagues at this point. He might have a rotation spot to lose in spring training, but the way he has pitched suggests he has a pretty good chance to lose it
Kevin Kaduk, of Yahoo! Sports, reports Houston Astros SP Brandon Backe was arrested over the weekend for taking part in a riot at a wedding reception. He was charged with resisting arrest, search and transportation by using force against an officer, according to the Houston Chronicle. Backe was released on $1,500 bond.
Backe went from respectable in April (4.65 ERA) and May (4.46) to disastrous down the stretch, surrendering 44 earned runs in his final 40 innings (9.90). Stay away from the 30-year-old starter until he shows more consistency.
