Constable K9 “R.E Moore” and a team of deputies took a significant bite out of local crime by apprehending a man suspected of copper theft, recounted Harris County Constable Mark Herman's Office. In a pursuit that led to the woods, the man, later identified as Christopher Charles Fry, was stopped in his tracks thanks to the combined efforts of an astute canine and a watchful drone unit, as per the Harris County Constable Precinct 4.
The chase began after deputies responded to a call about a suspicious vehicle linked to the possible theft of copper from a business on Spring Stuebner Road. Spotting a box truck speeding away, deputies executed a traffic stop on the North Freeway where the white male driver, subsequently making an ill-advised dash for freedom, bolted into the nearby woods. Despite the attempt to elude law enforcement, a perimeter tightened around the specter of a man who had dashed into the embrace of the forest's obscurity, as reported by the Harris County Constable Precinct 4.
A drone promptly located a heat source within the dense thicket, which allowed Constable K9 "R.E Moore" to zoom in on Fry. R.E Moore's handler and the drone operator exercised teamwork and precise coordination in the endeavor. According to a statement obtained by the Harris County Constable Precinct 4's, the suspect's disregard for verbal commands ultimately resulted in a canine apprehension that left him with injuries that required medical attention, followed by a clear bill of health for booking purposes.
Fry now faces charges of Evading on Foot and Felony Theft, with a bond set at over forty-thousand dollars. As Harris County Constable Precinct 4 detailed in the Facebook post update, "Christopher Fry was arrested and booked into the Harris County Jail, charged with Evading on Foot, and Felony Theft. His total bond was set at $40,100.00 out of the 228th District Court and County Court 4." It is a clear message to those who operate in the shadows that the light of justice, albeit sometimes aided by four paws and infrared, will seek them out.
