Two months after the hard seltzer fiasco went viral online, the 33-year-old was no-billed, meaning a grand jury declined to indict him on the aggravated assault with a deadly weapon charge.
Viral video shared on social media showed Cruz being booed while on the back of a Humvee during the Astros victory parade on Nov. 7, 2022. He was on the back of that vehicle when the cans were thrown.
"HPD made one arrest during today's victory parade. A male, 33, threw a beer can at U.S. Senator Ted Cruz as the Senator was on a float in the 2400 block of Smith St. The beer can struck the Senator in the chest/neck area. The Senator did not require medical attention," HPD tweeted. "Nearby HPD officers arrested the male without further incident. He was taken to jail and faces assault charges.
The suspect made a statement after he was detained, saying "I know I'm an idiot. I'm sorry," officials revealed during a court appearance.
