Houston police chief suspended for one day for hitting pedestrian

“Houston Police Chief Charles McClelland has been suspended for one day without pay for accidentally striking a pedestrian earlier this month.  The punishment was handed down by Mayor Annise Parker.  McClelland said he would also take defensive driving. The chief was on his way to work on September 4th when he stopped at Clay and Travis in downtown Houston. ‘I made a left turn on Clay, from Clay onto Travis. I had a green light and he had a green light to walk across the street. For whatever reason, I didn’t see him,’ Chief McClelland explained the day of the accident. When the pedestrian stepped off the curb, the chief’s car struck him.”
