Two cast members of Cirque du Soleil's first show on ice spent part of their San Antonio visit in a jail cell this week.

Just days ahead of the weekend performances at the AT&T Center, San Antonio police arrested Cordero Zuckerman, 25, and Shawn Sawyer, 32, early Tuesday morning in the 1000 block of North Main Avenue.

News archives identify both men as cast members of the show. On social media pages appearing to belong to the men, they both list Cirque du Soleil as their employer.

According to a preliminary police report, a bike officer was patrolling the area after police received several complaints about people using narcotics at the location.

As police arrived, Zuckerman and Sawyer allegedly popped out behind boxes placed outside the business.

Sawyer allegedly tried to run away from police, but the officer caught up to him and placed him in handcuffs. Sawyer, who the officer noted smelled of alcohol, told him he had just done some cocaine with his friends, the police report states.

Police then interviewed Zuckerman, who also appeared to be intoxicated, according to the report.

Zuckerman told police he did not have cocaine on him and allowed the officer to search him. The officer found a baggy in Zuckerman's pocket, which Zuckerman allegedly identified as "a little bit of coke," according to the report.

The two are in town for "Crystal," the Cirque du Soleil's first ice skating show. The performance is described as an "exhilarating tale of self-discovery," according to its website.

Cirque du Soelil's media office declined to comment on the incident in an email to mySA.com.

"As a policy and as a matter of respect for our employees, Cirque du Soleil does not comment on matters related to their personal life," the statement read.

Zuckerman was booked into Bexar County Jail and charged with possessing a controlled substance and public intoxication. Sawyer is charged with evading arrest and public intoxication.

Both suspects posted bail later that day, according to jail records.
