It happened outside the Woodlands Mall yesterday when police say 41-year-old Todd Washington tried to get away in his car.

Officers boxed him in, but police say he then backed into a mall security vehicle and drove toward a deputy who fired a shot into the windshield.

Washington was not hit, and surrendered to police.

He is charged with aggravated assault and credit card abuse.
