Bell v. State

OPINION

BILL VANCE, Justice.

Appellant Michael Wayne Bell appeals his conviction for aggravated assault of a public servant. The jury assessed a twenty-five year prison sentence. We will affirm.

Background

After being detained by Jillian Garza, a Bryan police officer, Bell resisted being handcuffed, scuffled with Garza and other officers, and was able to get one of the officers’ handguns. He pointed the gun at Officer Garza, telling her to back off or he would shoot her. For the safety of residents who were coming outside, the officers let Bell run away. He was apprehended about five months later.
