East Texas Trooper Dragged After Stop

A State Trooper was assisting Linden Police Department by directing traffic to the scene of the wreck last night when a vehicle ignored the trooper’s direction to stop. It drove past him instead. The trooper pursued the vehicle, which pulled over. The trooper got out to speak to the driver, who got hold of the trooper and started driving again. The trooper was dragged a very short distance and was uninjured. A suspect is in custody.
