So maybe the police are in cahoots with City Council? some owners wondered.
Police deny such theories. "Any time you have any type of enforcement, they're always going to be looking and saying the police want to pad stats or something," Cannon said. "But that's got nothing to do with it."
Still, the police returned again to Oh My Gogi last Friday. This time, Davenport's bemusement turned into anger. He couldn't figure out why they were back again. As he remembers the dialogue:
Davenport: You come out here every week!
Policeman: It's going to happen every week.
Davenport: But, why?
Policeman: I have no idea.
Ultimately, the police didn't write any citations that night, Davenport said. But he just about lost it. So he did what any flummoxed food truck owner would do in a panic. He got on Twitter, dispatching a tweet to City Councilman Ed Gonzalez, who expressed food truck support.
Gonzalez told the Houston Press he's looking into the Oh My Gogi saga. "Normally, no one calls in and says, 'We're being targeted,'" he said. "When they reached out to us this weekend, it was the first time I'd seen anything like this. We're getting more information."
In the meanwhile, the weekend is only days away, and what does that mean for Oh My Gogi?
