Man Who Rammed, Injured Texas Officer Deploying Spikes Gets Life

A man who intentionally rammed into a Fort Worth police officer trying to stop a vehicle pursuit by deploying spikes was sentenced to life in prison on Monday.

Officer Matthew Brazeal suffered serious injuries when Ronnie Jackson mowed him down in June 2020.

Jackson was found guilty of hitting Brazeal in a collision that had him dragging the officer more than 100 feet.

Brazeal was hospitalized for several weeks and continues recovering from his injuries . The officer returned to light duty just last week, nearly four years after being hit.
