ROSEBUD (March 16, 2009)-Texas Rangers are investigating an incident in which a former Rosebud police officer is alleged to have choked a teenager after a traffic stop.

On Jan. 17, 2009, Rosebud police got a call about a fight between some teenagers involving at least one teen from Eddy.

Around 12:20 a.m., a Department of Public Safety Trooper stopped to check out to a disabled vehicle on the side of the road on Highway 77 near CR 351, and then contacted Rosebud police.

Officer Jack Comeaux responded and connected the teenagers in the disabled vehicle to the report about a fight.

According to Comeaux, the Eddy teenager went to a Rosebud home along with two other teenagers, claimed to have weapons and tried to start a fight.

According to Comeaux' report, the teenager "became mad and argumentative and begin to show attitude," when the officer spoke with him.

Rosebud Police Chief Tim Wells told News 10 Monday when the teen refused to take his hands out of his pockets Comeaux used excessive force, grabbing the teenager by the throat.

In his report, Comeaux said, "sensing that he might have a weapon on himself, I grabbed (him) by the throat with one hand and tried to remove his hands."

The teenager wasn't seriously injured and didn't require hospital treatment.

The trooper's dashboard camera recorded the incident.

Texas Rangers are reviewing the video.

Comeaux has since resigned from the Rosebud Police force.
