Harris County Constable's Office apprehended Hugo Herrera-Corona on a charge of his second Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) offense, after responding to a report of a stranded vehicle in the 4800 block of the North Sam Houston Tollway West on January 16. Upon their arrival, deputies encountered Herrera-Corona, who exhibited signs of significant impairment, according to Mark Herman, Harris County Constable Precinct 4.
Field sobriety tests administered at the scene led deputies to conclude that Herrera-Corona was indeed intoxicated. A subsequent investigation indicated that his blood alcohol concentration stood at 0.170, a figure soaring over twice the legal limit. The officers on scene also established that this was not Herrera-Corona's first encounter with the law regarding impaired driving, confirming a prior DWI conviction.
Constable Mark Herman’s Office posted on social media that Herrera-Corona was arrested and booked into Harris County Jail for Driving While Intoxicated, 2nd Offense. His bond was set at $2,000 by County Court 3.
Herrera-Corona’s legal defense is currently unknown. A second DWI in Texas carries harsher penalties. The Harris County Constable’s Office continues to provide updates on crime, arrests, and traffic incidents via the “C4 NOW” app and social media.
