Police said the gathering being investigated involved “multiple vehicles and individuals.”

Bucio’s arrest on the reckless driving charge stems from an unrelated incident that police said occurred on Tuesday, Nov. 19, 2024, when Bucio allegedly caused a car crash. Channel 5 News reached out to police for more details on the crash. 

Jail records show Bucio was released on a $3,000 bond on Friday, Jan. 3. 

Additional charges and arrests may occur as the investigation continues, McAllen police said.
