An Alabaster man has been charged with a DUI crash that seriously injured a Pelham police officer in July.

A Shelby County grand jury on Oct. 18 indicted Shaquille O’Neal Montgomery, 30, on charges of first-degree assault, leaving the scene of an accident with injury, possession of marijuana and possession of a controlled substance – psilocyn, which is a psychedelic substance, according to court records.

Minter was directing traffic around a crash at mile marker 242 on Interstate 65 southbound shortly after 12:30 a.m. July 1 when she was “knocked out of her boots” by a speeding vehicle, Sugg said at the time of the incident.

The chief said the driver had ignored traffic control vests and emergency lights and was going about 80 mph.

The mother of three needed multiple surgeries and extensive physical therapy. A GoFundMe established in the days after the crash raised more than $60,000 for Minter’s recovery.

“It’s been a slow and painful process, but I believe all my experiences in life have taught me that with God I can push through it to the other side,’’ Minter said in late July.

“Right now, I’m in a wheelchair. I have an external fixator device on my entire left leg, rods through my pelvis and hips going all the way across, a brace on my broken right leg, and a bandage on my healing broken ankle,’’ she said. “My recent x-rays have shown that things are healing on track.”
