Harris County Precinct 4 deputies turned the 18200 block of Westfield Place into a full-blown search zone on Saturday, after a suspect reportedly slipped away from authorities near the North Freeway. Drones buzzed overhead while K-9 teams combed through yards and brush as deputies locked down a police perimeter. The man they were after was described as a Black male about 5-foot-10 and roughly 220 pounds, wearing blue jeans with no shirt. Residents nearby were urged to steer clear of the area while the operation played out.
Precinct 4 shared photos and an update on its Facebook page detailing the hunt, according to the Mark Herman, Harris County Constable Precinct 4. Local station ABC13 also reported that drones were in the air and K-9 units were tracking a fleeing suspect during the response. Both the post and the TV coverage said deputies had set up a perimeter near the North Freeway and urged anyone with information to contact law enforcement.

"Please avoid the area and allow deputies to conduct their search," the constable's office wrote in the Facebook post, which showed deputies and K-9 teams sweeping the neighborhood.
