A disturbance call in the Spring area led to the nabbing of a wanted burglar, law enforcement officials said. Harris County deputies, answering a call on February 15, collared Xavier Williams, a suspect with a warrant out for his arrest on a charge of burglary of a habitation, according to a post on Constable Mark Herman's Facebook page.

The incident unraveled in the 2900 block of Hirschfield Road when deputies arrived on scene they found Williams amid what was reported as a disturbance, at which point they conducted their due diligence and discovered the outstanding felony warrant, the Constable's Office released a statement. The suspect's apprehension wasn't just a stroke of luck it was exemplary police work unfolded in real-time, tracking a disturbance to potentially violent ends at the nexus of Williams' alleged criminal past.

"Xavier Williams was arrested and booked into the Harris County Jail for the open warrant," Constable Mark Herman confirmed. The bond amount for Williams, who now awaits his fate behind bars, is a decision yet to be made, slated to be set by the 182nd District Court.

Details surrounding the burglary for which Williams was wanted are not disclosed, however, his capture illustrates the routine perils faced by law officers and the everyday disturbances that can quickly turn into opportunities for broader justice as they often stumble upon those running from the law, such disturbances are not always what they seem leading to situations of higher stake.
