An 85-year-old Houston man appeared in court this Wednesday on charges of DUI and aggravated assault of a police officer.
The man was pulled over Monday by police under suspicion of DUI. He ignored officers at first but eventually stopped the vehicle. When the officer approached, the man took off. The officer was trapped between the door of the car and a guardrail and dragged around 800 feet.
The deputy was taken to Memorial Hermann Hospital with neck and leg injuries but is expected to make a full recovery.
