Three men were arrested in Houston’s upscale Galleria area on Saturday after a gangland-style beatdown of two men. The victims were driving through the neighborhood, honking their horn and waving the Ghana flag when they were surrounded by luxury vehicles and forced into the Neiman-Marcus parking lot.
Tiffani Westmeuller, whose husband was charged with attacking one of the Ghanan revelers with a Perrier bottle, recounts the moments before the incident began.
“We were having Sunday brunch at Le Peep when this car drove by, honking and celebrating,” Westmeuller said. “Kevin got so upset! I begged him to finish his omelette and not let his cappuccino get cold, but he stormed out of the restaurant. He even put a scratch on one of the rims of our BMW X5, he roared out of that parking lot so fast! I didn’t know what to do, so I just sipped my mimosa until he called me from jail. Can you imagine what my girlfriends at the country club will think?”
John Evans, the only perpetrator who agreed to an interview, spoke frankly from his jail cell. “Here I am, trying to enjoy my eggs benedict, when these guys drive by, hooting and rubbing it in our faces. I mean, sure, yesterday’s game was the first soccer match I’ve ever seen. But now that I’ve seen our U.S. team and how good they are, I’m certainly not going to have a bunch of hooligans disrespecting a team I’ve been following for my entire...well, since yesterday!”
