San Antonio Rap Show Scare: One day, something scary happened at a rap show in San Antonio. At 22, James Alvarado fired a gun into the air. That’s illegal and risky.
The cops were called immediately due to James’ misconduct. He brought a gun to a gun-free zone. He shouldn’t have had the weapon he wasn’t meant to have. He was charged with two serious crimes: bringing a gun on a licensed site and being a felon possessing a firearm.
But there’s more. He was accused of two things, but they weren’t as bad. He fired his gun in a public place, risking harm to others. He broke a bond or safety order, defying court instructions.
James was in trouble for possessing an unauthorized gun in 2022. He was on probation, so the government monitored him to ensure his compliance.
This occurred at 2:20 a.m. when rapper Boosie Badazz performed at Smoke Texas Downtown. People enjoy hanging out and listening to music at this popular spot on E. Crockett St.
Smoke’s security team fixed the problem quickly. After finding James, he couldn’t harm anyone else. When the police arrived, everything was fine, and no injuries occurred. Good news!
James, however, did many wrong things. They took him to Bexar County Jail for breaking the law. He paid $25,000 to leave.
The people who run Smoke Texas Downtown also discussed what happened. They said it was a rare and one-time event, meaning it only happens sometimes. They were happy the problem was resolved swiftly by their security team. They want everyone to know their place is fun, safe, and problem-free. More guards and rules will be implemented, similar to those at the Alamodome and other large venues, particularly on busy days.
This highlights the importance of staying safe during events like music concerts. It’s a reminder that breaking the law has consequences, and it’s best to make good decisions and follow the rules. We hope this teaches James and everyone else to be more careful in the future.
