Police Chief Art Acevedo makes good on Rockets wager
After losing a friendly bet against the SAPD, police chief Art Acevedo holds up his end of the deal.

HOUSTON, Texas -- Houston Police Chief Art Acevedo is a man of his word.

You may remember the San Antonio Police Department challenged the Houston Police Department to a friendly bet on the Rockets and Spurs game.

Houston police not only accepted the challenge, but fired back with a confident prediction of victory.

Even the Fort Bend County Sheriff's Office got in on the action.

But now, Acevedo just made good on his promise.
