Open records summary :
Ganado PD pulled over a car at a U.S. 59 exit on the west side of Louise. Manuel Saldana Jr exited his vehicle, provided his drivers’ license and told police he had a felony record.He also told police he had a gun in the car. He was cooperative and forthcoming. Police nevertheless tried to handcuff him and they allege that in the process, they discovered a gun in the vehicle, apparently the gun he had told them about. Under police attack despite cooperating, Saldana ran back to his car and sped off. Police took up chase and found the car had crashed and rolled, ejecting Saldana. Neither Ganado PD nor Texas DPS provided BWC or dashcam footage. It is unknown what went wrong during a stop with a cooperative driver but things apparently changed when he truthfully told him about his record and a gun that was in the car and not on his person.
