In a recent episode that unfolded in Harris County, a man was placed under arrest following a police pursuit that began with a routine traffic stop. According to a Facebook post by the office of Constable Mark Herman, on June 4, a deputy from his Special Operations Unit flagged down the vehicle on the 10400 block of Huffmeister Road for an undisclosed violation. However, as the deputy approached, the driver chose flight over compliance, fleeing the scene on foot.
The post indicates a swift response from additional deputies, who managed to apprehend the fleeing suspect shortly thereafter. The man was identified as Tristian Burden, and during the subsequent investigation, he was found to be carrying 6.45 grams of cocaine. This discovery added a drug possession charge to Burden's evading arrest, a situation compounded by previous convictions on his record.
"Tristian Burden was arrested and booked into the Harris County Jail, charged with Evading Arrest with Previous Convictions and Possession of a Controlled Substance. His total bond was set at $17,500.00 out of the 488th District Court," stated Constable Mark Herman in a press release shared on the precinct's social media.
