When cops arrived, Sandles resisted arrest and assaulted an officer on the highway shoulder—amid speeding traffic. Backup arrived, used a Taser to subdue him, and no one was seriously hurt. Sandles now faces multiple charges including assault on a peace officer, family violence, resisting arrest, drug possession, and reckless driving—with a $77,500 bond. The investigation continues, but the incident underscores the daily risks faced by law enforcement. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
