Two Killeen men were indicted by a Bell County grand jury earlier this week after police said that officers were assaulted during separate alleged incidents.
Dekari Marquel McBean, 25, and Jorge Ivan Perez-Calderon, 28, were indicted on third-degree felony charges of assault of a public servant. Perez-Calderon was being held in the Bell County Jail on Thursday in lieu of bonds totaling $213,000. He is facing two other third-degree felony charges, deadly conduct discharging a firearm and unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon, and misdemeanor charges of assault causing bodily injury to a family member, resisting arrest, search or transport and false alarm or report.
A Killeen man is facing an additional criminal charge following a violent weekend domestic incident, police said.
Jorge Ivan Perez-Calderon, 27, has been charged one count of assault on a public servant â peace officer or judge, according to a criminal complaint affidavit. On Sunday Killeen Police Department officers responded to a domestic violence report in which the suspect was identified as Perez-Calderon. When officers tried to arrest Perez-Calderon and place him in handcuffs, he began to resist and pull away from officers, police said. In the ensuing struggle, Perez-Calderon struck one of the officers with his hand, causing pain and visible swelling on the lip.
