TEMPLE (KCEN)- A man wanted in Milam County on a felony
warrant was arrested in Temple Friday morning, but in the process attempted to run over an officer with his car.
Temple police spotted 44-year-old Oscar Martinez of Bell
County just before 7:30 a.m. driving near the 14100 block of N. Highway 317.
When the officer attempted to pull over Martinez, he refused
and rammed his car into the gate of his property. The officer then exited his vehicle and
chased Martinez because the broken gate blocked the police vehicle.
Martinez then attempted to hit the officer with his vehicle.
The officer was able to avoid being hit and responding units arrived shortly
after.
Martinez was then apprehended and taken to Scott and White
Hospital with complaints of a leg pain.
Once treated, Temple Police say Martinez will be taken to
the Bell County Jail.
Martinez is charged with the active arrest warrant from
Milam County and aggravated assault of a peace officer.
Bond has not been set.
