Man Sentenced to 10 Years for Assaulting College Station Police Officer, Has Violent Pattern

BRYAN, Texas — A Brazos County judge has sentenced a 32-year-old man to 10 years in prison for assaulting a public servant, citing a history of violence that prosecutors said included attacks on officers, inmates and security personnel.

Judge John Brick sentenced Hunter Davis on April 16, 2026, to 10 years in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice following a punishment hearing.

Davis had previously been found guilty during a bench trial on July 14, 2025.

The charge stemmed from a July 2024 encounter when College Station police officers Patrick Collins and Gunnar Lingsweiler responded to a welfare check involving a disoriented man trespassing on private property.

According to prosecutors, Davis admitted he was dehydrated, under the influence of narcotics and in possession of marijuana when officers made contact.

During the encounter, prosecutors said Davis asked Officer Collins whether he would be thrown to the ground if he kicked the officer’s Taser. Despite warnings, authorities said Davis attempted to kick the device, but Collins blocked the strike with his elbow and restrained Davis without further incident.

During sentencing, prosecutors presented evidence of Davis’ prior criminal history, including a conviction for assault family violence involving strangulation.

Prosecutors also cited a 2019 incident in which Davis assaulted another inmate and several guards while assigned to the Substance Abuse Felony Punishment Facility, resulting in his termination from the program and a three-year prison sentence.

Authorities also referenced a 2022 assault in which Davis kicked a Baylor Scott & White security guard in the chest after allegedly attempting to grab the guard’s Taser.

During his 2025 trial, prosecutors said Davis had a violent outburst in court that required four bailiffs to remove him.

The court also heard evidence Davis was involved in multiple use-of-force incidents while in jail awaiting sentencing.

Assistant District Attorney Jordan Jordan prosecuted the case.

“The defendant has exhibited repeated violence toward police officers, inmates, jailers, and citizens of Brazos County,” Jordan said. “This sentence sends the message that violence against individuals whose only crime is doing their job will not be tolerated.”
