SOUR LAKE, Texas — A Sour Lake Police Department officer has suffered head injuries after he was reportedly assaulted.

William McKeon, 59, was in "very critical, but stable condition" Tuesday and will "undergo numerous surgeries in the coming hours and days," Hardin County Sheriff Mark Davis said. Related article

McKeon, a four-year veteran of the department, responded around 8:30 p.m. to a call from J&R Meat Market on Texas 326, where a man later identified as a transient from Kentucky refused to leave when asked by store employees, Davis said.

Davis said the man attacked McKeon after he approached to ask him to leave.

The officer has family in this area, so I heard about it through the grapevine.

I googled it and did not find any news media reports about it.

The man and his family are strong believers and are praying and trusting God for a real miracle.

They are probably not giving too much detail so they can nail the guy’s hide to the wall in a trial.

Texas doesn’t take too kindly to assaults on their peace officers.

An update on Officer McKeon.....

The doctors there have deemed Bill to have made remarkable, miraculous progress.

He can walk around and take care of himself. As a result, while he has been in rehab since the assault, he is now being moved to another facility as he does not need the same level of care as before.

He is excited about eventually being able to go home.

Thanks you for your prayers and the family is saying a heartfelt thanks to everyone who has been praying for him.
