Law enforcement in Harris County has made a decisive strike against crime with the arrest of a wanted felon, identified as Evan Snell, in North Houston. Deputies from Constable Mark Herman's Office were tipped off about the location of Snell who had an outstanding warrant for allegedly injuring an elderly person. This lead prompted a swift response from authorities.

In carrying out the warrant service on April 16, deputies descended on the 5300 block of Hill Timbers Drive, where they found and arrested Snell without incident. They confirmed that he indeed had a felony warrant on charges of Injury to the Elderly, according to a Facebook post from Precinct 4's official page. The alleged crime involved Snell walking up to an elderly couple's home, presenting a book to the victim. While the unsuspecting victim was engaged with the book, he reportedly struck the victim in the face with a closed fist, illustrating a heinous disregard for the dignity and well-being of our oldest citizens.

The details surrounding this violent encounter remain scant, but the impact of such an unprovoked attack on an elder in the community sends a chill down the spine of any compassionate individual. "Evan Snell was arrested and booked into the Harris County Jail for the open warrant," Constable Herman affirmed in his statement.

A subsequent court appearance resulted in Snell's bond being set at a stiff $20,000.00; this was ordered by the 184th District Court, reflecting the serious nature of the crime he is accused of perpetrating, the judicial system here in Harris County sends a clear message that violence, especially against the elderly, will be met with a full measure of legal retribution. The community waits to see justice served as this case continues to unfold with Snell's future court dates pending, as everyone hopes such an act does not befall another unsuspecting individual.
