HOUSTON COUNTY, Texas ) - A newly released video shows the moment a suspect kicked the window out of a Houston County Sheriff’s Office patrol truck and slipped out of the moving vehicle during an attempted escape.
According to the Houston County Sheriff’s Office, on Sept. 3, Keon Dewayne Leonard was arrested on a warrant for assault of a public servant or judge.
The sheriff’s office said there was a “scuffle” to get Leonard handcuffed and two sets of cuffs had to be used because he was 6 feet 7 inches tall and weighed 260 pounds.
Once Leonard was in the patrol truck, the sheriff’s office said he slipped the cuffs from behind his back to the front and attempted to escape by kicking the window out of the patrol truck.
The video and released photos show Leonard shatter the window and dent the truck’s door after repeated attempts, while the video shows him slipping out of the shattered window while the truck was moving.
The Houston County Sheriff’s Office said a deputy chased Leonard and used her Taser to “bring him back under control.” Leonard was then put into another vehicle and taken to the Houston County Jail.
Leonard has been charged with evading arrest, attempting to escape while arrested, and destruction of property in addition to his initial charge.
He is currently in the county jail on a $30,000 bond.
