Two days ago, Constable Mark Herman's deputies encountered a man loitering around a previously burglarized business after hours in the 7200 block of FM 1960 East. When they approached, the man, later identified as Conner Loftin, decided to make a break for it. He used a bicycle, then continued his escape on foot before the officers caught up, according to the official Facebook page of Harris County Constable Precinct 4.
In a turn of events that compounded his trouble, Loftin wasn't just fleeing a suspicious scene; he was reportedly carrying around 4 grams of methamphetamine and a weapon. This was particularly problematic given that Loftin, a felon, was not legally permitted to possess a firearm. Harris County Constable Precinct 4 confirmed this in a statement, noting the string of charges now attached to Loftin's name: Evading on Foot, Felon in Possession of a Firearm, Possession of a Controlled Substance, and not to mention the multiple open warrants out for his arrest.
It seems that the law enforcement officials had a keen eye on Loftin even before the attempted getaway. Upon apprehending him, they discovered that he had several outstanding warrants, including for Theft and Possession of a Controlled Substance. These latest charges only add to an already sizable legal headache for Loftin, as reported by the Harris County Constable Precinct 4.
After Loftin's capture, he was "arrested and booked into the Harris County Jail," as detailed by the Harris County Constable Precinct 4. Loftin's new mix of charges has culminated in a total bond set at a hefty $40,303.00. Precinct 4 urges the community to stay informed about local crime, arrests, and safety by following them on their Facebook page or by downloading their mobile app dubbed "C4 NOW."
