A Waller County grand jury has indicted Texas Department of Public Safety Trooper Brian Encinia – the trooper who arrested Sandra Bland – on perjury charges.

The charge is a Class A misdemeanor. If convicted, Encinia could face up to a year in jail and a $4,000 fine.

The charge stemmed from a statement Encinia made in his report of the arrest, in which said he pulled Bland out of her car to continue the investigation.
