Warrant
sought for assault suspect Fort Worth and TCU police were working together Monday to get a warrant for a male who was driving a 1998 green Chevrolet Suburban in connection with an aggravated assault that left a TCU student and TCU police officer with injuries, according to a Fort Worth police report. David Grubbs, the injured student, was driving his 1996 silver Volkswagen Jetta with three other students early Friday morning after leaving Scooners, 3051 S. University Drive, TCU detective Kelly Ham said and the police report cited. According to the report, Grubbs, 18, was attacked with a baseball bat after the suspects damaged the Jetta by smashing out the windows. Grubbs suffered a concussion and incurred an injury to his chest after the attack, the report cited. He was taken directly to a hospital by Medstar ambulance services, but no other details were disclosed in the report. The students were followed by the suspect and another male who were in the Suburban. Police officials confirmed that there were at least two people in the Suburban, but more may be involved. The Suburban rammed into the Jetta at the corner of Berry Street and Bellaire Drive, Ham said. The Jetta was on its way back toward main campus before they called the police with a cell phone, he said. The Suburban repeatedly continued to hammer the Jetta as it returned to main campus, Ham said. TCU police officer Dale Connor, who suffered minor injuries to his knees and back, was the first to report to the scene, Ham said. Connor immediately pulled a gun on the suspects causing them to get frightened, the report cited. In reaction the suspects got back into the Suburban and drove away, despite Connor holding onto one of the suspects, Ham said. After leaving the scene, the Suburban hit a TCU Police Durango, Ham said. Once hitting the police car, the suspects drove away to 2850 Stadium Drive before abandoning the Suburban and fleeing away on foot. Ham said TCU officer Aaron Cisar, who was in the Durango when it was hit, was not injured but tried to follow the suspect. Police confiscated the Suburban and the baseball bat from the scene. Both were classified as a deadly weapons because of the way they were used, Ham said. Ham said the Jetta was damaged on all four sides of the vehicle, but could not expand on further damages and their estimated costs. Police officials, who got the license plates number, are working to obtain a warrant for the owner of the Suburban, Ham said. He said there has been no warrant considered as of Monday for the other suspects. Anthony
