A grand jury on Monday indicted State Trooper Andrew Papanos on a charge of aggravated assault by a peace officer.

Trooper Papanos was involved in an early morning high speed chase from Patton Village into Fort Bend County on Halloween. Papanos is accused of beating Ricki Kelley after the chase ended in Rosenberg.

In the weeks after the chase, the Ft. Bend County District Attorney's Office told us Kelley had to be airlifted to a hospital, but would not say how he was injured.

Papanos was suspended as a result of his actions and the pending investigation resulting from this chase. His employment status at DPS wasn't immediately known.

He could face up to life in prison if he's convicted on the first-degree felony charge.
