ENNIS, Texas An Ennis police officer has been reassigned after the department acknowledged that a Saturday traffic stop and subsequent arrests could have been handled better.
On Saturday, at about 9 p.m., Ennis police said one of its officers initiated a traffic stop for speeding.
Officials said the driver pulled into the driveway of a home in the 100 block of East Freeman Street, and as the officer was radioing with the dispatch center, the passenger got out of the car and reportedly refused to comply with the officers’ instructions.
