The motorist accused of striking and killing an officer as he fled police Wednesday has a criminal history that includes being a registered sex offender.
Patrol Lt. Stuart Alexander was hit by an SUV about 12:10 a.m. along North Padre Island Drive between Bates and Agnes streets.
Daniel Lee Lopez, who police say was driving the SUV that killed Alexander, was shot two times by officers who said he rammed patrol cars and tried to run over officers. He is under guard at Christus Spohn Hospital Memorial where he is being treated for what police said were non life-threatening injuries.
Lopez pleaded guilty on Aug. 8, 2008, to indecency with a child by exposure in Galveston County. He was placed on six years deferred probation and is a registered sex offender. The Department of Public Safety’s public sex offender registry lists a Corpus Christi address for Lopez.
Nueces County online court records show he has been out on bond since last year on a misdemeanor assault charge and is awaiting a March 30 trial.
Lopez was arrested in January 2007 on the assault charge and released on bond. But on Aug. 18, 2008, he was rearrested for failing to comply with pre-trial conditions. He was released the next day on bond, according to court records and officials.
He also served jail time on an earlier misdemeanor assault charge in 2005.
Lopez is under guard at a local hospital.

They should have killed this SOB. He’ll probably walk on a technicality and some mushy headed judge.
