According to our news partner KETK, the incident was discussed at length in the Whitehouse Texas, Rants, Raves, &amp; Recommendations Facebook group. Several members of the group reported that the truck was tossing bottles of alcohol and other items out to parade watchers. Ashley Westerfield with the Whitehouse Chamber of Commerce chimed into the Facebook thread to apologize for what allegedly happened: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I am the Admin for the Whitehouse Area Chamber of Commerce. The truck that did this was NOT a registered entry in the parade. He went behind Holloway and snuck into the parade line between floats. A complaint was filed with the Police department as soon as we were told about it. They have a picture of his truck, License plate and the name of his company. This was NOT an approved float. We apologize for anything that was handed out by this individual and his passengers.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The Whitehouse Christmas on Main parade started at 3:30 p.m. on Saturday.
