On the day preceding, a man identified as Joseph Robicheaux was arrested at a Home Depot on the North Freeway, after trying to make a swift exit without paying for a plethora of paint brushes. This seemingly mundane theft turned out to be a felony incident, with the amount of hardware in question surpassing the legal threshold of petit larceny. The suspect also had in his possession a significant quantity of Promethazine Hydrochloride, a controlled substance that he was not prescribed, which further complicated matters. This information was disclosed via a social media update from Constable Mark Herman.
The suspect, Robicheaux, was caught by deputies after trying to flee on foot with a large number of stolen paintbrushes. Despite his attempt to escape, he was quickly detained and is now facing serious charges.
Making a stash of 32oz of unprescribed Promethazine Hydrochloride, Constable Herman shared official details in a Facebook post stating, "Joseph Robicheaux was arrested and booked into the Harris County Jail, charged with Felony Theft and Possession of a Controlled Substance. His bond and court information have not been set at this time."
