A robbery attempt on Holzwarth Road turned into a brief foot chase on Friday, ending with Harris County Constable Precinct 4 deputies arresting a man they say was armed and already wanted on a felony warrant. Precinct officials said the suspect, described as a convicted felon, was found with a loaded firearm and had an open felony warrant for injury to an elderly person and assault. Deputies reported that he now faces multiple charges, including evading arrest, robbery and unlawful possession of a firearm.
How Deputies Say The Arrest Unfolded
According to a Facebook update from Constable Mark Herman’s office, deputies were dispatched after a report that a man had tried to rob a female victim, then took off on foot. Deputies located the suspect in the 22400 block of Holzwarth Road and detained him after a short pursuit. The post states that a loaded handgun was found on him and that he was booked on charges of evading arrest, robbery and unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon. The office shared photos from the scene in the update, as detailed by Constable Mark Herman.
What The Charges Mean Under Texas Law
Under Texas law, unlawful possession of a firearm by someone with a prior felony conviction is addressed in Texas Penal Code section 46.04 and is generally treated as a felony offense. Evading arrest is covered by section 38.04 and can be charged as a misdemeanor or a felony, depending on the circumstances. Robbery, under section 29.02, is a felony that can carry stiffer penalties when a weapon is involved or when victims are injured. See section 46.04 on FindLaw, section 38.04 on FindLaw and section 29.02 on Texas Public Law for statute text and potential penalties.
