McKinney Police Officer Assaulted

Sun, 17 Jun 2007 02:55:56 GMT

I was searching the internet tonight, and came across this video of MPD Officer Rusty May being assaulted by Joshua Wayne Jones.

The videotape shows May approaching the vehicle and ordering Jones to step out of the front passenger side. Jones complies, but as Officer May grabs his arm and attempts to frisk him for weapons, Jones quickly turns around and begins swinging at the officer hitting him in the face and in the temple. May tries to get him into a headlock, but Jones manages to wiggle his way out of the officer's grasp and the two struggle out of frame.
