Suspected Felon Louis Jones Captured by Harris County Authorities in Residential AtticSource: Facebook/Mark Herman, Harris County Constable Precinct 4

Authorities have captured a wanted felon, Louis Jones, who was hiding out in a residential attic in Harris County, providing a conclusion to several outstanding warrants for serious charges. Deputies from Constable Mark Herman’s Office, acting on a tip, descended on a property in the 3100 block of Gianna Springs Court on April 16, leading to the arrest.

The pursuit of Jones came to an end when officers located him tucked away in the confines of the home's attic, and following the discovery, he was quickly apprehended. As well as his existing warrants for Injury to a Child, Evading Arrest, and Assault, he had a Parole Violation Warrant for Unlawful Carrying a Weapon, according to a statement obtained by the Constable’s Office Facebook page.

"Louis Jones was arrested and booked into the Harris County Jail for the open warrants. His total bond has not been set out of the 183rd District Court," as detailed by Constable Mark Herman. Herman's statement rings with the matter-of-factness, personifying the unyielding march of justice always seeking to hold individuals accountable for their actions.

Jones's arrest, which occurred without incident, now transitions from an active search to judicial proceedings. With the setting of a bond still pending from the courts, Jones faces a legal path fraught with the charges that instigated his initial flight and subsequent apprehension.
