In an urgent response to a reported disturbance at the Express Inn, deputies from Constable Mark Herman's Office swiftly intervened at the scene where a male suspect was said to be kicking a door in the 16620 block of the North Freeway. The situation quickly escalated as the suspect fled the scene on foot after deputies arrived and found a female victim with multiple injuries and lacerations.

The office, not missing a beat, deployed a drone to search for the suspect. The move proved effective when the suspect was spotted making a run toward the freeway. "Constable Deputies quickly deployed a drone and were able to locate and apprehend the suspect" as reported by Precinct 4 on their official Facebook page.

Following the incident, Precinct 4 used social media to promote their new app, “C4 NOW,” which provides real-time updates on crimes, arrests, safety tips, and traffic accidents. Residents are encouraged to follow the precinct online and download the app to stay informed and help keep their neighborhoods safe.
