Only on 13: Woman caught on camera dragging deputy through NW Houston restaurant parking lot

HARRIS COUNTY, Texas (KTRK) -- A driver was arrested on Thursday after officials say she dragged an off-duty deputy with her car into a parking lot, which can be seen on surveillance video only on ABC13.

Christina Amanda Pabon, a 24-year-old Houston tattoo artist, faces a charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon - causing serious injury.

The Harris County Precinct 4 Constable's Office responded to reports of a deputy being assaulted at a Hartz Chicken Buffett in the 14400 block of SH 249.

In the video, Pabon is seen involved in a verbal altercation with another woman. That's when the off-duty deputy is shown approaching Pabon's vehicle, but she drives off, dragging him through the parking lot while he hangs onto the door handle.

The deputy then rolls, and the back tires narrowly miss him. Witnesses say he was knocked unconscious.

Pabon returned to the scene after the video showed her fleeing the area.

The deputy reportedly suffered road-rash injuries and lost consciousness before he tried to detain Pabon, but she resisted. A brief struggle ensued until another deputy arrived to help.

Pabon was arrested and booked into the Harris County Jail, though court records show she has since posted a $4,000 bond.

At last check, the deputy suffered minor injuries but is doing OK.

ABC13 spoke with the deputy's father, who rushed to his side after he heard what happened.

"I was so really worried about his condition, I rushed from work and headed that way," the deputy's dad, Meng Ly, said.

Ly said he was thankful his son wasn't killed.

"My God, when I see the video, I think, 'How do you get out of it alive?'" Ly said.
