Early this morning, a series of events unfolded that led to the arrest of a hit-and-run suspect in the 15300 block of Hickory Dale Street. Deputies from Constable Mark Herman's Office were drawn to the scene following reports of a minor crash involving multiple vehicles. A witness at the scene observed the suspect, later identified as Cesario Cox, collide with two cars and then depart hastily.

The attentive witness took initiative beyond mere observation, tailing the suspect and updating deputies with the moving location. Due to his diligence, deputies were able to track down Cox. Upon making contact, Cesario Cox conceded involvement in the collisions, as reported on the official Facebook page of Constable Mark Herman's Office. Aided by the witness’s critical information, the swift response by the constable's deputies culminated in Cox's apprehension.

In a statement issued on the precinct's social media, Constable Mark Herman elaborated on the incident's resolution. "Cesario Cox was arrested and and booked into the Harris County Jail, charged wit Fail to Stop and Give Information. His bond and court information have not been set at this time," Herman stated.
