On a recent routine stop, things took a serious turn when a deputy from Constable Mark Herman's Office pulled over a vehicle parked in a moving lane of traffic on the 13600 block of Hollister Street. The incident, which occurred on August 20, saw the driver, identified as Dylan Patrick, displaying several signs suggesting he was under the influence. According to a statement released on Constable Mark Herman's official Facebook page, standardized field sobriety tests were administered, leading to the conclusion that Patrick indeed was intoxicated.
The arrest didn't just end with a DUI charge. A further investigation by the deputy unearthed a stash of 1.27 grams of cocaine and a loaded firearm in Patrick’s possession. These findings compounded Patrick's legal troubles, adding charges of unlawful carrying of a weapon and possession of a controlled substance to his slate. "Dylan Patrick was arrested and booked into the Harris County Jail, charged with Driving While Intoxicated, Unlawfully Carrying of an weapon and Possession of a Controlled Substance," the Constable’s office detailed.
As the case moved through the judicial system, Patrick's bond was set at $2,700 by the 177th District Court and County Court 15. This monetary figure is now what separates Patrick from pre-trial liberty as he waits for his day in court.
