A fugitive who led officers on a foot chase through a Waco neighborhood and then dragged one officer and knocked a second down as he tried to steal a police vehicle was facing a new list of charges Wednesday.

David Becerra, Jr., 42, remained in a hospital Wednesday evening, police Sgt. W. Patrick Swanton said in a press release.

Once he’s released, he’ll be jailed, facing two counts of assault on a peace officer, unauthorized use of a motor vehicle, evading arrest and resisting arrest.

Becerra was free on bond on a recent robbery charge, but wanted on a burglary warrant and two felony theft warrants when Waco officers and members of the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force found him Tuesday afternoon at a house at 2709 Cole Ave.

The officers made contact with some of the occupants of the house and removed several, but as they attempted to get Becerra, he ran out the back door, Swanton said.

“During the foot chase Becerra circled back to the home and attempted to take a police vehicle that was parked in front of the home,” Swanton said.

Officers tried to pull Becerra out of the vehicle, but before they could, “Becerra put the truck in gear dragging one officer and knocking down a second officer with the moving vehicle,” he said.

“Even with repeated commands to exit the vehicle Becerra continued to fight the officers and was continually reaching into his waistband,” he said.

The struggle continued after officers got Becerra out of the vehicle, Swanton said, and neither Tasers nor a baton were effective in subduing the suspect.

“It was later learned from the suspect that he had recently ingested a large quantity of meth,” Swanton said.

Becerra was taken to a local hospital for evaluation.

Three officers were treated for injuries they received during the arrest and have returned to duty.
