Local authorities report a recent DWI arrest following a traffic stop on FM 2920 Road. On December 2, deputies with Constable Mark Herman's Office pulled over driver Melvin Gordon Jr. in the 9700 block, where he was subsequently found showing signs of intoxication. According to the Harris County Constable Precinct 4 page, Gordon displayed multiple signs suggesting he was under the influence while behind the wheel.
The traffic stop led to a series of Standardized Field Sobriety Tests, administered by the deputies at the scene, which confirmed the suspicions of intoxication. Gordon struggled through these tests; hence, his impairment seemed evident, despite no specific details of the test outcomes being released to the public.
Resulting from these proceedings, "Melvin Gordon Jr. was arrested and booked into the Harris County Jail, charged with Driving While Intoxicated. His bond was set at $100.00 out of County Court 9," according to the same social media update by the Harris County Constable Precinct 4. Gordon's bond was swiftly set, the amount being pegged at a seemingly modest $100.00, assigned by County Court 9. The specifics of his court date, however, remain undisclosed as of this report.
Gordon’s arrest highlights ongoing concerns about road safety and the risks of impaired driving.
