Backe cleared!

Let's hear it for Brandon Backe, cleared of all charges stemming from a bar fight at the San Luis Resort after a wedding (Best. Reception. Ever.)

City officials said the bride's brother, Cole OBalle, tried to bring a drink from elsewhere into the bar. An officer at the scene reportedly denied him entry, and a brawl broke out.

OBalle and his father were both Tasered, and police also used pepper spray. Cole OBalle was rushed by Life Flight to a hospital in Houston and later released. Backe and three others were charged with interfering with a police officer and resisting arrest. They were cleared of all charges on Tuesday.
