In a move to crackdown on vehicle theft, deputies with Constable Mark Herman's Office pulled over a U-Haul on Cypresswood Drive, discovering that the driver, Kisshi Smalls, was behind the wheel of a stolen van from Florida. The traffic stop conducted yesterday led to the arrest of Smalls on charges of unauthorized use of a motor vehicle and theft.

The deputies initiated the stop in the 26800 block of Cypresswood Drive after identifying a potential issue with the U-Haul. It swiftly became apparent that there was more to the vehicle than met the eye. A deeper investigation confirmed that the U-Haul had been reported stolen out of Florida, placing Smalls in a bind with the law enforcement.

Smalls was taken into custody and faced the music at Harris County Jail. Addressing the incident, Constable Mark Herman stated in the Facebook post, "Kisshi Smalls was arrested and booked into the Harris County Jail, charged with Unauthorized Use of a Motor Vehicle and Theft." The statement, made publicly on the official Facebook page, emphasized the quick response and coordination by the constable's deputies.

With the case brought before the 176th District Court, Smalls' bond was set at a steep $40,000.00. This development highlights the ongoing vigilance of Texas law enforcement in tackling the issue of vehicle theft, a crime that often crosses state lines and impacts communities. The information regarding the bond was shared in a Facebook post by the precinct.
