On October 14th at 11:55 a.m., officers responded to a report of an intoxicated subject at the Valero in the 6000 block of Interstate 10. Upon arrival officers found the subject, identified as 21 year old Evan Williams of Baytown, laying on the ground in front of the store, wrapped in a blanket. When officers contacted Williams he immediately became belligerent with the officers, shouting obscenities and displaying increasingly aggressive behavior. Williams appeared to be reaching for something under his blanket at which time the officer attempted to stop him. Williams continued to be defiant and refused to comply with the officers commands. The officer then attempted to detain Williams, however Williams continued to struggle with the officer as the officer was placing handcuffs on him. Once the officer had the handcuffs on Williams, the officer attempted to lock the cuffs, which prevents the cuffs from tightening on the suspect, and as he was doing so Williams intentionally manipulated his hands in an apparent effort to injure the officer. The result was one of the officers fingers getting caught in the handcuffs and being twisted, nearly breaking the officer’s finger. The officer was ultimately able to take Williams to the ground and release his finger. During the struggle Williams struck his head on the ground and suffered a laceration to his eyebrow area. Both the officer and Williams were evaluated and treated on scene by EMS after which, Williams was transported to the Baytown Jail where he was charged with Assault on a Public Servant through the Harris County District Attorney’s Office.
