A confrontation between a suspicious individual and deputies led to an arrest in northwest Harris County on Thursday. As reported by Click2Houston, the incident occurred in the 3700 block of FM 1960 West, when deputies from Constable Mark Herman's Office responded to a report of a suspicious person.
The man, identified as 56-year-old John Hunter, allegedly became aggressive and threatened to fight the deputies before hitting his head against a patrol vehicle.
