Posted: Wed Nov 18, 2009 1:52 pm
Two men were charged Tuesday in connection with the robbery of five people enjoying an early morning meteor shower at East Beach, authorities said.
Bond for Kenneth Bellotte, 27, of La Marque, and Noel Rodriguez, 17, of Galveston, was set at $40,000 each on two counts of robbery, Galveston police said.
The men demanded money and cell phones, but one of the victims managed to retain a cell phone and called 911. An officer stopped the suspects near Boddeker Road and Seawall Boulevard, police said.
The victims’ injuries from the 1:30 a.m. incident were minor, police said.

"Why do you need that thing here?"
Noel is an unusual name for a man these days, and even more so with a Spanish last name. I always wonder about these things.
