Nine people were arrested early Friday morning in New Braunfels after a brawl including nearly two dozen people broke out when an apparent party bus stopped at a gas station.

Officers arrived around 2:38 a.m. to The Tote in the 4300 block of Interstate 35 South to find about 15-20 people outside a large white charter bus fighting. The individuals all quickly re-entered the bus once officers arrived at the scene, said David Ferguson, NBPD spokesman.

"The bus had been traveling from San Antonio (to San Marcos), stopped at a local gas station and all hell broke loose," Ferguson told the New Braunfels Herald-Zeitung.

The bus had about 50-60 passengers total, and after interviewing numerous people at the scene, eight people were arrested on disorderly conduct charges and one was arrested on a public intoxication charge, Ferguson said.

A person who was on the bus said it had been at Garden San Antonio, 18360 Blanco Road, and that the fight broke out on the bus and was the reason it stopped.

“There was at least one female who had injuries consistent with being struck in a fight and several other people that we could tell had been fighting,” Ferguson told the newspaper.

Numerous people at the scene had different accounts as to how the fight started, so it’s unknown what actually prompted the fight, which resulted in four broken windows on the charter bus.

The owner of Skyline Entertainment and Party Bus Co., which operates out of San Marcos and offers school and charter buses that have been altered to resemble a night club on wheels, refused to comment when asked whether one of their buses was involved.

The buses, which are driven by employees of the company, are popular among Texas State University students to travel in groups to San Antonio or Austin night clubs.
