The Nassau Bay PD officer was one of several officers who pulled over Tavores Henderson, 21, back in Dec. 2019. Henderson was wanted on a warrant for domestic violence and while trying to arrest him, a struggle ensued, where he managed to get back into his car and drive off.
Authorities said Henderson hit Sgt. Sullivan as he fled the scene. He was arrested following a two-day search and remains in Harris County jail on a $999,999 bond facing a Capital Murder of a Police Officer charge.
