SOUR LAKE, Texas — A Sour Lake Police Department officer has suffered head injuries after he was reportedly assaulted.
William McKeon, 59, was in “very critical, but stable condition” Tuesday and will “undergo numerous surgeries in the coming hours and days,” Hardin County Sheriff Mark Davis said.
McKeon, a four-year veteran of the department, responded around 8:30 p.m. to a call from J&R Meat Market on Texas 326, where a man later identified as a transient from Kentucky refused to leave when asked by store employees, Davis said.
