HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- It was one of the biggest scandals in Houston Police Department history.
On the night of Nov. 3, 1981, off-duty officers at the Northeast substation had a party after the election.
Residents of the Della St. apartments said two pickup trucks full of drunken officers drove through the apartment complex yelling the N-word.
Residents said the officers went from unit to unit beating and kicking residents and in one case, putting a gun to the head of a woman.
Ten police officers were subsequently relieved of duty with pay after the incident.
