	H.R. No. 39



	R E S O L U T I O N

	WHEREAS, Officer Todd Little and Sergeant Alfredo Fajardo of
	the Crockett Police Department demonstrated great courage in the
	line of duty on March 6, 2016, when they placed themselves in harm's
	way to apprehend two dangerous criminals; and
	WHEREAS, In the early morning hours, Officer Little and
	Sergeant Fajardo were called to the scene of a residential
	disturbance, where the suspects, a man and a woman, were seen
	attempting to depart the area in their vehicle; and
	WHEREAS, After stopping the car, the officers spotted a
	shotgun on the passenger's side near the female suspect; the
	vehicle then sped away, setting off a chase, during which the
	suspects began firing on the patrol cars in pursuit; the driver
	eventually lost control of the vehicle and crashed off a roadway
	outside of Grapeland; when he tried to fire on the officers again,
	his shotgun jammed, and after a foot chase, he was apprehended and
	placed under arrest; a short while later, the female suspect was
	found and captured with the help of Officers Mike Merchant and
	Johnny Romo of the Grapeland Police Department; and
	WHEREAS, Officer Todd Little and Sergeant Alfredo Fajardo
	acted with bravery in protecting the safety of the public, and their
	heroic efforts have distinguished them as truly outstanding members
	of the law enforcement profession; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas
	Legislature hereby commend Officer Todd Little and Sergeant Alfredo
	Fajardo for their exemplary actions and extend to them sincere
	gratitude for their service to their community; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That official copies of this resolution be prepared
	for Officer Little and Sergeant Fajardo as an expression of high
	regard by the Texas House of Representatives.
