Security camera footage from a well-known gay bar has played a key role in a hit-and-run investigation of a former Houston City Councilman, who is now a conservative talk show host, Local 2 Investigates reported on Wednesday...
Tuderia Bennett, of Galena Park, told Houston police that he was working as a bouncer at the front door during a popular cross-dressing 'drag show' that was going on inside the club. He watched the crash happen and told police he rushed up to the car after impact and got a good look at Berry behind the wheel.
Bennett wrote down the license number from the car that he said caused more than $1,500 in damage to his car. Then, when HPD officers traced that license tag to Berry, the victim said he had no doubt it was him.
He said he did not know who Berry was until HPD officers told him and he viewed an online promotional photo of Berry.
Managers of the bar then turned over security camera video from inside the club to HPD investigators, and they write in an e-mail to Local 2 Investigates that their video confirms that Berry was in their establishment that night.
The e-mail reads, "Mr. Berry is one of those customers who has been to our establishment. The video in question that shows Mr. Berry in our establishment is in our possession. The local authorities have requested this same video and they are in possession to assist with their investigation."
I have read several local news outlets that report Mr. Berry has replied that he is unable to comment on this matter.
His normally active Facebook page has been apparently inactivated, telling users "this page is unavailable because of privacy settings."
Berry is known for his former seat on Houston's city council, his take over and conservative remake of once beloved AM 740 in Houston, and DUI.If you have ever been stuck in Houston traffic and listened, you know him for thinly veiled racism, Sheila Jackson Lee jokes, and his strong stance against the twin towers mosque.
He also stands in for syndicated hate monger Mark Levin.
Is anyone surprised?
No, not surprised at all Kel. Larry (Wide Stance) Craig, "Reverend" Jim Bakker, etc, etc, etc.
What would be interesting is a psychological study of people that are either self loathing enough or amoral enough to make a career and public spectacle of bashing, hating, and discriminating against that which is your own personal nature.
Or maybe Berry "chose to be gay" just for that night?
Okaaaaaaay.
Fascinating! Sometimes I really miss Houston and it's myriad scandals, but up here in the Hill Country it's getting equally interesting as the Baby Boomers flee the city and become Preppers.
It remains to be seen where Doomsday will finally announce itself, eh?
