A Harris County felon was collared this week after deputies say he tried to make a quick withdrawal using a fake driver's license at a local Texas bank. The man, identified as Scott Witt, was nabbed on February 1, according to law enforcement officials.
Officials say Harris County Constable Mark Herman's deputies were swiftly dispatched to a bank on Kuykendahl Road when a call dropped alerting them to a suspect allegedly using a fraudulent Arkansas Driver's License to try and wrongly take out cash. This wasn't any ordinary hit and run; Witt is no stranger to the clink, having previously earned the title "convicted felon." It all unfolded at the 25300 block of the busy thoroughfare, which swiftly turned into a crime scene.
Constable Herman's squad didn't have to wait to pull out all the stops, as Witt was promptly detained. An investigation into the affair dug deeper, confirming the suspect was indeed making a play for a complainant's bank account funds with the dodgy ID.
In a statement put out by Herman's office, "Scott Witt was arrested and booked into the Harris County Jail, charged with Fraudulent Use of Identifying Information and Tampering with Government Record." Continuing to lay down the law, the constable's office declared Witt's bond had to be set firmly at a cool $25,000.00, secured by the 248th District Court. Clear evidence, it seems, will now see Witt have to forcefully face up to the music once again.
The news was broadcast on social media, with Constable Mark Herman's official Facebook page laying bare the facts of the case for all of Harris County to see. Posted on February 3rd, this latest chapter in Witt's book of bad decisions will likely see a tight clampdown on any similar future attempts by others considering bending the rules.
