On Wednesday around 3:30 p.m., a SWAT team (Special Weapons And Tactics), the special unit that deals with particularly dangerous operations, used an armed vehicle to smash through the cab of a large truck that it had stopped on a Texas highway to arrest him the driver. When the Texas police officers ordered him to stop, the man refused and began a series of dangerous maneuvers; He later refused to get out of the vehicle, although police managed to puncture his tires, prompting a task force to be called in to get him out.
It is currently unclear why police attempted to stop the truck. Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said the driver, who was ultimately arrested, appeared to have “some serious impairment.”
