YOAKUM, TX
The Victoria Advocate reports Yoakum Police Chief Arthur Rogers
was assisting in municipal court when a judge cited a teenager for
truancy. Rogers says the student was leaving the courtroom when he
"either said something or made a gesture toward the judge."
The teen was cited for contempt of court, but attempted to
leave.
Rogers says that's when they scuffled and he was "popped" in
the face, leading to a left black eye.
The student faces charges of assault of a public servant and
resisting arrest over Friday's incident.
Yoakum is 125 miles southwest of Houston.
