A suspected drunk driver has been thrown in the slammer following a single-vehicle wreck on Jones Road, law enforcement officials report. Angel DeLeon, the alleged boozy motorist, was nabbed by deputies from Constable Mark Herman’s Office last Sunday after his vehicle was found crashed in the 11900 block.
When deputies arrived on the scene, they found DeLeon, who apparently couldn't hide the signs of his inebriation, from his stumbling demeanor to the booze breath that seems like a dead giveaway. The constables put him through the paces of the Standardized Field Sobriety Tests, which he failed, tipping the scales from suspected tipsy driver to full-blown drunk driver according to official statements.
He didn’t pass go, didn’t collect $200—instead, DeLeon was hauled off to Harris County Jail, slapped with a Driving While Intoxicated charge, as per Constable Mark Herman's announcement. Seems the law's not about to let him off easy, even if the $100 bond set by County Court 3 might not break his bank, it sure paints a clear picture: drunk driving doesn't sit well with Harris County lawmen.
The brief account of DeLeon's misadventure, posted on the official Facebook page for Precinct 4, lacks the lurid details of the crash itself, but sends a stark message nonetheless—a warning shot across the bow for anyone foolish enough to drink and drive, that justice, though perhaps not always swift, is assuredly imminent.
