You may remember that last October’s World Series was rather eventful for Texas Sen. Ted Cruz when a man hurled a can of flavored mineral water at him. The crowd also jeered at Cruz, with some people giving him the finger. Cruz was riding in a military jeep at the time when the can was tossed.

And now, a Texas Grand Jury has dismissed charges against Joseph Arcidiacono, who was accused of throwing cans of White Claw hard seltzer at Cruz during the game, the New York Post reports. Arcidiacono, 33, was arrested in early November on a felony count of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon stemming from the fortunately misaimed can toss.

The 182nd District Court dropped the charge on Friday against Arcidiacono as the jury declined to indict him due to insufficient evidence, according to a report from the Houston Chronicle.

The senator was perched atop a Humvee during the November 7 parade celebrating the Houston Astros’ World Series victory when two White Claw cans were lobbed at him, with one of the cans either hitting him in the neck or chest.

When he was arrested, Arcidiacono reportedly told officers “I know I’m an idiot. I’m sorry.” He was released from jail on a $40,000 bond and was required to wear a GPS ankle monitor and stay at least 1000 feet away from Cruz’s home and work.

Cruz didn’t need medical attention and found the situation humorous. He merely noted he was glad Arcidiacono was a “clown” with a “noodle for an arm.”

“I mean, listen, if he threw a 100-mile-an-hour fastball, I might be in a very different condition,” Cruz, 51, said while taking a sip of a White Claw can while taping his podcast.

Arcidiacono’s lawyer, Bill Stradley issued a statement claiming that his client wasn’t trying to commit political violence against Cruz.

“Instead, this was an Astros fan trying to toss drinks from his cooler to the Senator during a championship parade and not realizing how it would be perceived until he saw security’s reaction,” Stradley wrote.

The attorney also noted that his client texted a friend the evening of the parade saying: “My dream would be to throw one of the players a beer. Doubt it would happen haha but that would be epic.” And he apologized on Arcidiacono’s behalf to Cruz, his family, and his security detail and begged the senator for Grace.

All I can say here is that maybe Cruz’s time would have been better spent in Cancun.
