Houston roads witnessed yet another case of driving under the influence when deputies halted a seemingly inebriated motorist, who was later discovered with a stash of fake IDs. The incident occurred on December 21, as Constable Mark Herman's officers pulled over Cedric Fernandes for traffic violations in the 23900 block of the Tomball Parkway.
Fernandes's behavior immediately struck the deputies as off, indicating intoxication, whereupon they administered a series of standardized field sobriety tests. These tests confirmed their suspicions, and he was deemed to be driving while intoxicated. The bust didn't end with the charge of impaired operation; officers unearthed several counterfeit social security and Texas ID cards in his possession, according to Constable Mark Herman's Office post on Facebook.
The charges against Fernandes piled up as he was taken into custody. "Cedric Fernandes was arrested and booked into the Harris County Jail, charged with Driving While Intoxicated and Tampering with a Government Document," Constable Mark Herman detailed. The gravity of the offenses ensured that the suspect's bail was not taken lightly, set at a stern $10,000.00 across two courts.
