Authorities captured an aggravated robbery suspect after a high-drama chase ended with an on-foot pursuit in the area of FM 1960 Bypass Road W., as reported by the office of Constable Mark Herman. Yesterday afternoon, deputies responded to a robbery at an Aldi Grocery Store, where the suspect later identified as Jeremiah Martinez, was alleged to have threatened staff with a firearm before fleeing with stolen goods.
The constable deputies spotted Martinez's vehicle shortly after the incident, leading to a vehicular chase and a subsequent foot race when the suspect ditched his car. After he refused to stop for a traffic stop, deputies attempted to apprehend him in the 9400 block of FM 1960 Bypass Road W. Martinez was eventually caught and taken into custody, where he was slapped with charges of Aggravated Robbery and Evading Arrest in a Motor Vehicle, and his bond was set at $65,000.00 by the 486th District Court.
"Jeremiah Martinez was arrested and booked into the Harris County Jail, charged with Aggravated Robbery and Evading Arrest in a Motor Vehicle," Constable Mark Herman's Office detailed in an official statement. Herman’s office encourages the community to stay vigilant and connected, pointing citizens toward their Facebook page and a mobile app named “C4 NOW,” which provides live updates on local crime and safety information.
