Heady is charged with DWI, misdemeanor possession of up to 35 grams of marijuana, careless and imprudent driving, no insurance, driving while suspended and unlawful use of drug paraphernalia.
Assisting at the scene on Ridge Road about three miles south of Houston were Cpl. Curtis Haden and Tpr. Stacy Crewse.
