Huntsville, Texas
A Huntsville police officer was arrested Thursday by the Texas Rangers after being indicted by a Walker County grand jury Wednesday.
29-year-old Christopher Lee Myers of Willis was jailed in Montgomery County Thursday morning around 11 a.m. and charged with Official Oppression for allegedly mistreating a person who was in his custody.
Court documents indicate Myers physically assaulted Eldon Jacob Fuller while he was in handcuffs on August 10, 2012.
Myers had been an officer for a little more than four years, serving most of it with the Huntsville Police Department. His last day on the job with Huntsville Police is listed as March 8. Myers' TCLEOSE service record shows no previous disciplinary actions.
If convicted, Myers faces up to a year in prison and up to a $4,000 fine. After posting a $1,000 bond, he was release from jail.
