The suspect, Jeremy Rene Leos (H/m, 27), is charged with intoxication
assault-serious bodily injury of a peace officer in the 263rd State District

HPD Officer C. Brothers suffered two broken wrists and was transported to
Memorial Hermann Southeast Hospital, where he was treated and released.
Officer Brothers is assigned to the Clear Lake Patrol Division and was sworn in
as an officer in January 2017.
HPD Vehicular Crimes Division Sergeant D. Griffiths and Officer F. Flynn
reported:
Officer Brothers was investigating a prior accident at the above address and
advised the reportee the investigation would have to be moved to a safer
location. As Officer Brothers was placing the reportee in his patrol
vehicle and attempted to buckle him in, he heard screeching tires and saw a
white Dodge Ram pickup truck heading toward him. The pickup truck then
struck Officer Brothers and his patrol vehicle. The driver of the pickup
truck (Leos) then attempted to flee the scene on foot but was taken into
custody with assistance from the HPD K-9 Unit and other responding
officers. Officer Brothers was transported by HFD paramedics to the
hospital. Leos was determined to be intoxicated and subsequently
charged.
