The driver was originally accused of seriously injuring that Montgomery County Precinct 2 Constable’s Office investigator who was directing traffic at the Ironman North American Championship in The Woodlands last weekend.

Dashcam video from another driver’s car showed Investigator Toby McLaughlin, a 40-year veteran with the Montgomery County Precinct 2 Constable’s Office, kicking the man’s vehicle as he passed by and hurting his own leg.

So did the “investigator” not know that he had caused the injury by his own actions? If so, that’s sad. If he did know, and let the guy sit in jail with $30,000 bond, then that’s a problem.

I mean, most people know that kicking a moving 2-3 ton metal object is going to hurt and probably not a good idea, but cops are special.
