Law enforcement officers in Harris County put cuffs on a man with a hot warrant straight out of Montgomery County this week, snatching him up during a welfare check deep in the heart of the 7300 block of Lonsome Woods Trail. Antonio Hubbard couldn't dodge the long arm of the law after deputies got a call to check on someone's well-being and ended up stumbling right into their wanted man, who had an outstanding felony warrant for a drug-related offense.
The Harris County Constable's Office said that "upon deputies arriving, investigation revealed that Antonio Hubbard had an open Felony Warrant for Possession of Dangerous Drug out of the Montgomery County Sheriffs Office," a capture spoke with the force of inevitability about it. The moment deputies ascertained who he was and what he was wanted for, it seemed there was nothing left to do but to slap the bracelets on Hubbard and haul him off to face the music; his escape route, if there ever was one, had effectively been cut off by the due diligence of the officers on scene.
Constable Mark Herman's men weren't playing any games when they took Hubbard down to the Harris County Jail, where the slammer's door closed on him with the noise of finality. In a statement posted on Facebook, Herman said, "Antonio Hubbard was arrested and booked into the Harris County Jail for the open warrant." However, the next steps for Hubbard remain shrouded in the fog of the justice system, as his bond and court information have not been laid out for public consumption not even a hint of his next date with the judge.
