October 14, 2022 - Charges have been filed against a suspect arrested in a hit-and-run crash at 8800 Tidwell Road about 4:05 p.m. on September 28.

The suspect, Kennedi Symone Armstrong Williams, 25, is charged with aggravated assault against a public servant in the 177th State District Court. A booking photo of Armstrong Williams is attached to this news release.

The female victim, 46, a Waller County Precinct 3 Constable deputy, was transported to an area hospital in stable condition.

HPD Vehicular Crimes Division Sergeant G. Clark and Officer D. Nguyen reported:

The deputy was in uniform and directing traffic in the intersection of Mesa Drive at Tidwell Road when a white Dodge Challenger was attempting to turn on Mesa Road. The deputy directed the driver to stop, so she could work cross-traffic through the intersection. After initially stopping, the driver disregarded the orders and proceeded through the intersection, striking the deputy, knocking her to the ground and dragging her several feet. The driver then fled the scene. Paramedics transported the deputy to an area hospital for a possible separated shoulder, contusions and road rash injuries.

The deputy was able to provide responding officers with the vehicle's license plate. Officers checked a nearby residence linked to the registered vehicle and neither the driver nor vehicle was located.

Further investigation identified Armstrong Williams as the driver of the vehicle. On Thursday (Oct. 13), officers with the HPD Northeast Patrol Division Tactical Team arrested Armstrong Williams without incident.
