BEXAR COUNTY – An alleged drunk driver was tased and taken into custody after acting “erratic and combative” toward Bexar County deputies following a rollover accident, officials said.
The incident happened around 1 p.m. Friday on I-35 and Shepherd Road in Southwest Bexar County.
Deputies said the driver’s pickup truck was found rolled over in the area. When they tried to help the driver, the situation escalated.
The driver was believed to be intoxicated, and when deputies tried to detain them, a struggle ensued. This led to a deputy tasing the driver to get them to comply, according to the BCSO.
Authorities said the driver was arrested for suspicion of DWI.
The scuffle resulted in minor injuries for the driver, and they were taken to University Hospital out of precaution.
No other injuries were reported, and no other vehicles were involved in the rollover. The investigation continues.
