Early this month, Harris County deputies successfully intercepted a suspected intoxicated driver on Kuykendahl Road. During the traffic stop conducted on January 3rd, authorities identified the man behind the wheel as Michael David Nelson, who exhibited clear signs of being under the influence, according to social media post.
Nelson was subjected to the Standardized Field Sobriety Tests, which he subsequently failed to satisfactorily complete. Deputies took this as confirmation that Nelson was indeed operating his vehicle while impaired. An additional investigation determined that Nelson had a blood alcohol content of 0.154, significantly exceeding the state's legal limit. Constable Mark Herman was quick to emphasize the dangers of such actions and the need to keep potentially unsafe drivers off the road.
In a statement on Facebook post, Herman's office detailed, "Michael Nelson was arrested and booked into to the Harris County Jail, charged with Driving While Intoxicated. His bond was set at $100.00 out of County Court 1."
The Constable's office encourages the community to remain vigilant and to follow their social media pages on platforms such as Facebook and Instagram, as well as to download the C4 NOW mobile app. This app aims to actively provide to keep residents informed with live feeds regarding crime, arrests, safety tips, and traffic accidents in their area. Keeping abreast of such incidents can aid the public in being more aware and potentially contributing to the prevention of dangerous situations on the road.
