A Denton County sheriff’s deputy was allegedly the victim of a drive-by egging early Thursday.

The deputy reported he was driving in the 800 block of Woodrow Lane when an egg — flying from a car traveling in the opposite direction — struck his windshield and smeared across his line of sight, according to a deputy’s report.

When the deputy turned his squad car around to pursue the other car, the driver attempted to evade the deputy by speeding up, the report stated.

After a mile, the deputy caught up with the other car and pulled it over, according to the report.

During a search of the vehicle, deputies found a 30-count egg carton, broken eggshells and four unbroken eggs, the report stated.

The 25-year-old driver of the car told deputies that he would throw the eggs, while his 27-year-old passenger loaded his throwing arm, according to the report. The passenger refused to give the deputies information.

Both men were arrested for criminal mischief, the report stated.

The deputy washed the egg from his car, and it reportedly did not cause any damage.
