Police also investigated one harassment case and two assault cases.

Bryan Thomas Smith, 41, of Highland Village pled guilty last month to possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine and was sentenced to 70 months in federal prison. Smith nearly drowned while trying to swim across Lake Lewisville to escape police executing his arrest warrant last April.

On Dec. 23 at 7:40 p.m., Highland Village Police responded to a motor vehicle accident in a parking lot in the 1900 block of Justin Road. A preliminary investigation by police revealed a man and woman may have been arguing and when the man attempted to drive away, the woman was run over. She later died from her injuries.
