WASHINGTON - A 25-year-old Herndon, Va., man has been charged with texting while driving and other offenses after the vehicle he was driving struck a police officer conducting a traffic stop.

Citing witnesses, Manassas City Police say the female officer was talking to the driver of a vehicle on Route 28 near Phoenix Drive Saturday morning when a black Ford driven by Alexander Bacon swerved off the road and struck both the officer and the vehicle she had stopped.

The officer had injuries that were not life-threatening.

Police say Bacon, of Herndon, stopped after the incident. He faces charges that include texting while driving, reckless driving and driving on a suspended operator's license.

Bacon was held on a $5,000 bond. A court date has been scheduled for September.

Apparently he failed to get the message being on a 'suspended operator's license (third offense)' charge. All I can say is KARMA! Glad he got a nice list of charges thrown at him. I am sure it's something he won't be texting 'LOL' about!
