Houston, TX : Biker charged for motorcycle crash on April, Sunday 16th 2017

A Cleveland biker is behind bars, and likely in pain, after allegedly crashing his motorcycle while intoxicated Sunday.
Johnny King, 58, is facing a third-degree felony intoxicated assault charge for the crash that hospitalized a female passenger on the bike with a broken knee. The crash happened on Texas 242 near U.S. 59 around 5:30 p.m. Sunday.
King told DPS troopers investigating the crash he "dropped" his motorcycle while on the highway, which put it into a skid, according to DPS Sgt. Erik Burse. King was the only person involved in the single-vehicle crash on scene when investigators arrived.
After having failed a standard field sobriety test, Burse said the trooper took King to a Kingwood hospital for a blood draw. That's when the trooper discovered the female victim at the hospital with a broken knee.
She was later taken to Conroe Regional Medical Center for surgery. King, who also suffered injuries during the crash, was released from the hospital and taken to jail early Monday. He is being held in the Montgomery County Jail with a $50,000 bond.
King was one of 31 people arrested in Montgomery County and accused of driving while intoxicated, according to Montgomery County Vehicular Crimes Chief Prosecutor Andrew James. Of the 31, 17 people gave voluntary blood or breath tests.
The Easter weekend was like any other weekend in Montgomery County with the District Attorney's No Refusal program in full swing.
Through a Texas Department of Public Safety grant, the DA's Office provides nurses, prosecutors, investigators and judges at various locations throughout the county to assist law enforcement in obtaining blood evidence in cases where a DWI suspect refuses to provide a scientific sample. When an officer makes a DWI arrest and the driver refuses to provide a blood sample, the additional resources help confirm there is enough probable cause to have the on-call judge sign a warrant.
Ten people who were arrested had warrants signed for officers to take a blood sample over the Easter holiday.
"The importance of the program and publicizing it is so people will know it's going on and hopefully make smart decisions and not put themselves and other people in danger by operating their vehicles while intoxicated," James said. "Any feeling or any effects of alcohol, any pills or drugs people have taken, if they're feeling anything from them, they don't have their normal mental or physical faculties. They're legally intoxicated and don't need to be operating a motor vehicle."
As for King, the third-degree felony charge he's facing could land him in prison for up to 10 years.
