7 arrested after Whataburger brawl in San Antonio over order mixup

A food order mixup at a Whataburger in San Antonio early Sunday morning led to a violent, seven-person brawl that left multiple people injured and resulted in arrests, police said. The incident occurred just after 3 a.m. on October 12 at the Whataburger on the 14600 block of Blanco Road, near West Bitters Road, according to San Antonio police and video of the confrontation.

Authorities said the fight began after two groups of patrons disputed an order that one group said had been given to another. Video recorded at the scene and circulated on social media shows several separate confrontations inside the dining area, with people striking, kicking and throwing others to the floor. Photographs of the aftermath show blood on booths and the restaurant floor.

San Antonio police arrested seven people at the scene and charged them with assault causing bodily injury. Those booked into Bexar County Jail include Andres Garcia Cardenas, 21; Tyrone Tolliver, 21; Miguel Torres, 57; Meili Torres, 21; Andrew Lopez, 21; Deontae Tolliver, 23; and Veronica Valdez, 53, police said. Officers identified two 20-year-olds and two 18-year-olds as victims of the melee.
