Uniformed police officer arrested for pulling gun on ex-wife and man, court documents show

SPRING, Texas (KTRK) -- A veteran police officer is behind bars after being accused of pulling a gun on his ex-wife and a man while dressed in his police uniform, according to court documents.

Records show that Eddy Woodard spent 30 years as a Houston police officer before taking a series of law enforcement jobs in Shepherd. Woodard was arrested by Precinct 4 Constable deputies on Monday afternoon at a home in Spring.

According to court documents, the 67-year-old got into an argument with a woman Eyewitness News has learned is Woodard's ex-wife after she arrived at the home with family members to gather belongings.

Woodard is accused of unholstering his firearm and pointing it in the "general direction" of his ex-wife and a man, as well as threatening to shoot both of them.

It's unclear what the man's relationship is to Woodard or his ex-wife.

Woodard faces two aggravated assault charges. On Tuesday, a hearing officer said Woodard would have to wait for a district judge to set his bail Wednesday morning.

Records show Woodard and his ex-wife were married for 20 years before he filed for divorce in 2024. The divorce was finalized in April 2025.

At the time of his arrest, Woodard was working as a reserve officer for the Shepherd Police Department.

Shepherd Police Chief Clint Headley told Eyewitness News that Woodard was fired as soon as he learned about the charges on Tuesday morning.

Eyewitness News asked the Precinct 4 Constable's Office for Woodard's booking photo, but one wasn't provided.

Should he post bail, he's been ordered to stay away from the victims for at least three months and not to possess any weapons.
