Harris County Constable Precinct 4 deputies say a wanted man tried to jump out of a second-story apartment window Friday before they hauled him in on felony assault charges near Spring, with help from K-9 "Mattress Mack." The warrant operation unfolded in the 16300 block of Stuebner Airline Road, and the precinct later shared photos of the arrest on its official Facebook page.
How Deputies Say The Arrest Went Down
According to Constable Mark Herman, members of the violent-offender unit and Special Operations showed up at the Stuebner Airline Road apartment to serve a warrant and found the man they were looking for inside.
The post states the suspect was wanted on felony charges for assault of a pregnant person and for an assault that allegedly impeded the victim’s breathing or circulation. Deputies say he tried to get away by going out a second-story window but was caught and taken into custody.
K-9 Mattress Mack And The Violent-Offender Unit
Precinct 4’s K-9 team, which includes an animal nicknamed “Mattress Mack,” has been active in the public eye since 2023, as the Houston Chronicle reported. The constable’s office lists a K-9 Unit and a Special Operations Command among its divisions on Harris County Constable Precinct 4, and it routinely uses those channels to highlight training sessions and deployments.
After warrant services like Friday’s operation, deputies frequently post photos and short recaps, which is how this arrest made its way onto social media.
Charges And Legal Context
Under Texas law, assault against a person the accused knows is pregnant and assaults that “impede the normal breathing or circulation” can be charged as felonies, according to Texas Penal Code §22.01. Prosecutors generally have to show the defendant knew the victim was pregnant for that enhancement to apply, and impeding breath is typically charged when pressure is allegedly applied to the throat or nose.
The exact case filings, bond amounts, and any initial court dates will be set through the county’s booking and prosecution process.
What Precinct 4 Says Happens Next
The constable’s office is steering residents to its social media feeds and encouraging downloads of the “C4 NOW” mobile app for real-time updates, according to Harris County Constable Precinct 4. The homepage also lists contact phone numbers and a tip portal for anyone with information about outstanding warrants or neighborhood safety concerns.
The Facebook post did not release the arrested man’s name or booking details, and the precinct said any further information will be shared through its official channels.
Local Pattern And Context
Recent public updates from Precinct 4 show deputies increasingly pairing aerial and canine units to track down suspects who try to run. A February report highlighting a drone and K-9 takedown in Spring described another case that wrapped up a foot chase in short order.
Residents who witnessed Friday’s operation, or who have tips that could help with other investigations, are directed to contact the precinct using the phone numbers and open-records links listed on the agency’s website.
