On Saturday night, December 21, Harrison County Deputies conducted a traffic stop on I-20 westbound near Marshall for a defective tail light. The driver, 33-year-old Austin Bailey Christopher Brewer of Sulphur Springs, displayed unusual behavior during the stop.
Brewer admitted to having two shotguns in the bed of his truck and was initially allowed to leave after being handed back his license. However, he lingered at the scene, staring down deputies and moving toward the shotguns in the truck bed.
Deputies re-engaged Brewer due to his suspicious actions. When they attempted to detain him, Brewer resisted arrest, leading to a struggle. Deputies gained control and placed him under arrest.
Brewer faces multiple charges, including defective equipment, expired registration, resisting arrest, escape from custody, and felon in possession of firearms.
