Last Thursday, deputies with the Harris County Precinct 4 Constable's Office arrested four people after an alleged gunpoint robbery in the 12100 block of Baird Mount Court in north Harris County. Authorities say a victim was confronted at gunpoint, had a wallet taken, and officers detained one adult and three juvenile males at the scene as they investigated the reported aggravated robbery.
Constable's account
According to a Facebook post from Constable Mark Herman's office, deputies responded to the aggravated robbery call in the 12100 block of Baird Mount Court and identified the adult suspect as Diego Valdez. He was charged with aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon and held on a $50,000 bond. The same update states that the other suspects are three juvenile males, ages 13, 14 and 16, who were arrested and booked into juvenile custody. The post includes photos from the response and asks anyone with information to contact the precinct.
Where suspects are being held
The precinct's post says Valdez was booked into the Harris County Jail and the juveniles were placed into the Harris County Juvenile Detention Center. The Harris County Sheriff's Office lists the downtown Baker Street complex among its jail facilities. The Harris County Juvenile Probation Department identifies the Juvenile Detention Center on Congress Street as the county's secure holding facility for youth while cases move through juvenile court. Families seeking visitation or case details are directed to contact those agencies directly for next steps.
Legal implications
Under Texas law, aggravated robbery, including robbery carried out with a deadly weapon, is a first-degree felony, a charge that can carry decades in prison if a conviction follows, according to Texas statutes. Prosecutors will determine whether to pursue charges in juvenile or adult court for the younger suspects. Recent serious violent filings involving teens have been noted as straining juvenile dockets. The precinct said a formal release is expected with additional details as the investigation progresses.
Precinct response and next steps
The post urged residents to follow Precinct 4's social channels and the "C4 NOW" mobile app for official updates and asked anyone with information to contact deputies. Investigators will forward evidence and reports to prosecutors as the case moves through the system. This story will be updated if the constable's office or the Harris County District Attorney's Office issues further statements or if court filings become available.
