San Marcos Police Disperse Large Unsanctioned Truck Meet at New Buc-ee's Location

San Marcos Police Disperse Large Unsanctioned Truck Meet at New Buc-ee's Location

San Marcos police, with assistance from the Hays County Sheriff's Office and the Texas Department of Public Safety, dispersed a large, unsanctioned 'truck meet' that gathered hundreds of vehicles at the city's new Buc-ee's travel center. The incident occurred on a Saturday night, just days after the travel center's grand opening. Police were initially called to the location, 3245 N. IH-35, around 9 p.m. following reports of reckless driving. Store management subsequently requested law enforcement assistance as the gathering, promoted on social media, grew significantly. Hundreds of trucks filled the parking lot, with drivers engaging in burnouts, revving engines, and creating loud music and other disruptive behavior. It took approximately two hours for officers to clear the property and restore normal operations at the Buc-ee's.
