Lubbock man ‘refused to let go’ after grabbing deputy’s groin during arrest

LUBBOCK, Texas — Landen Rangel-Segovia, 20, was arrested by Lubbock County Sheriff’s Office deputies on Sunday, October 6 outside of a Lubbock strip club, according to court records obtained by EverythingLubbock.com on Monday.

Rangel-Segovia was kicked out of the venue and showed obvious signs of intoxication, court records said. Deputies from the LCSO attempted to arrest Rangel-Segovia but he began to resist their attempts.

Court records said Rangel-Segovia braced himself on top of a deputy, striking him with a closed fist on the right side of his face. Another deputy attempted to use a taser on Rangel-Segovia which had no effect. Court records said Rangel-Segovia finally surrendered after a drive stun was used on him.

During a search, Rangel-Segovia grabbed a deputy’s “testicles and refused to let go.”

A clear plastic baggie, which tested positive for cocaine, was found in Rangel-Segovia’s front pocket. It was later determined that Rangel-Segovia attempted to discard the white powder in the backseat of the deputy’s vehicle. A debit card that did not belong to Rangel-Segovia was found in his back pocket, according to court records.

As of Monday, Rangel-Segovia remained at the Lubbock County Detention Center. He was charged with two counts of Assault of a Peace Officer, Evade Arrest, Resisting Arrest Search or Transport, Fraudulent Use of a Credit/Debit Card, Possession of a Controlled Substance, Public Intoxication, Assault Causes Bodily Injury and Tampering/Physical Evidence. Rangel-Segovia’s bonds total over $55,000.
