San Antonio Moroccans (French) Not Terrorists, Just Drunken Idiot Tourists
Five French citizens arrested at the Bexar County Courthouse early Wednesday were partiers, not terrorists, local and federal investigators concluded after questioning the men and searching their vehicle. All five now face burglary charges.
After entering through a window on the fourth floor, two intruders were seen on surveillance video swiping an oversized ceremonial gavel from a judge's bench and later donning sombreros found in a Bar Association storage closet.
We found a bottle of cold beer up in the courtroom, so we know they had been having a partying time, Ortiz said. It's very likely these individuals were just intoxicated. They may have not even known what this building was.
Sources said the men had been drinking at Coyote Ugly, a downtown bar, before they arrived at the courthouse. At Coyote Ugly, witnesses described them as having a raucous time.
They kept ordering beer. They didn't even know what kind, just beer, said one bartender who asked not to be identified.
