INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Authorities say charges have been filed against 28-year-old Derrick Byrant, the man who hit a security guard and police officer while driving under the influence on Saturday night in downtown Indianapolis. Online court records show the Anderson man has been charged wit h multiple felony charges of resisting law enforcement and leaving the scene of an accident. He was also charged with two misdemeanor counts of OWI. An arrest affidavit obtained by News 8 says around 10:25 p.m. Saturday, an IMPD officer in the 200 block of South Meridian Street, just south of Maryland Street, noticed a car stopped under a bridge “continuously honking its horn” for several minutes. That location is a popular bar district that draws large crowds. The officer, in full IMPD uniform, approached the vehicle. Its driver, identified as Bryant, reportedly “made eye contact with (the officer) and immediately turned the vehicle’s steering wheel to the left and began moving forward.” As the car moved, it struck the officer’s leg. As Bryant sped up, police say the officer’s arm was pinned “between the inside of the door and the driver’s seat.” The officer, at first, could not free himself but eventually did, falling to the ground and “rolling to a stop.” Police say Bryant tried to flee, but couldn’t due to traffic. The officer, while still on the ground, then saw Bryant start to back up towards him. The officer rolled out of the way to avoid being hit a second time. Bryant then turned around, parked his vehicle about a block north of the incident, and fled on foot. The officer “suffered pain as well as minor scrapes and scratches to his body,” court documents say. His handcuffs also sustained damage and fell out of his utility belt, along with pistol magazines. Court documents did not provide any information on the security guard reportedly hit by Bryant shortly before the officer was hurt. He will be formally charged in Marion Superior Court 20 on Wednesday. Previous Reporting: https://www.wishtv.com/news/crime-watch-8/indy-police-officer-hit-dui/ ...read more read less
