Howard County officers arrested John Manuel Solis, 29, after they say he fired on them while they were trying to serve a warrant.
It happened around 5:30 am Wednesday when the Big Spring Police Department and Howard County Sheriff’s Office SWAT team executed a narcotics search warrant at the Scottish Inn Motel.
As officials approached a particular room they said gunfire was exchanged. Solis suffered minor injuries, and no one else was hurt.
Officials said Solis is a convicted felon, and he was known to carry firearms and have gang affiliations.
Solis was charged with Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon on a Peace Officer.
