It was a drunken ignorant weekend near the beaches of Galveston with plenty of people getting injured, arrested, and, pregnant (probably).
What is supposed to be an enjoyable weekend during the annual Topless Jeep Weekend event often turns into an unpleasant time for local residents and many who attend the event.
Galveston County sheriff's deputies had arrested 175 people by Sunday afternoon, and 17 of them were felony arrests.
Also, a Galveston County sheriff's deputy working an accident had to be flown to the hospital after a driver struck him, leaving him with both legs fractured, a broken arm and head injuries, according to the sheriff's office.
I don't know why people are surprised. This insane depravity happens every year.
This year a law enforcement officer was seriously injured.
At about 1:30 a.m., the deputy was working an accident on the highway at the Holiday Beach subdivision of Crystal Beach when a separate vehicle hit the deputy, Trochesset said.
The deputy was taken to UTMB with two broken legs, a broken arm and head injuries, according to officials. The deputy underwent surgery Sunday morning but their condition is unknown.
The driver of the vehicle that hit the deputy was identified as Darius Gilbert.
Gilbert was arrested by DPS officers for aggravated assault on a peace officer. He is in jail on a $100,000 bond.
No other injuries were reported in this incident, but authorities said multiple people who took part in the event on Bolivar Peninsula were flown to a hospital.
