Deputies with Harris County Constable Precinct 4 say a hit-and-run on Tuesday ended with more than just an arrest. After tracking down the suspected driver, 28-year-old Keith Herbert, deputies reported finding a loaded handgun and an assault-style rifle inside the vehicle. The crash and subsequent search led them to the 15000 block of Kwik Copy Lane, where Herbert was taken into custody. He was booked into the Harris County Jail on charges of failure to stop and give information and unlawful carrying of a weapon, with his total bond listed at $200, according to the constable's office.

Constable Mark Herman's Message
Constable Mark Herman used the case to underscore his office's stance on leaving crash scenes while armed. "Fleeing the scene of a crash while illegally carrying firearms is reckless behavior that puts our community at risk," he wrote, according to Harris County Constable Precinct 4. The social media update also shared photos from the scene along with Herbert's booking information.
Precinct 4's Social Updates Fit a Pattern
Hoodline has frequently covered similar quick-turnaround arrests that appear on the Precinct 4 Facebook feed, where the office regularly posts neighborhood-scale crime summaries and safety alerts. For example, a fence-hopping hit-and-run chase in north Houston recently drew attention for its rapid resolution. That steady drumbeat of posts has turned the constable's social feed into a go-to spot for locals tracking arrests and enforcement activity in their area.
Legal Implications
Herbert faces charges of failure to stop and give information and unlawful carrying of a weapon, as outlined in the constable's Facebook post, which also reported a $200 total bond. From here, prosecutors and court clerks will handle the formal filings and set hearing dates. Future case updates, including any changes in custody status, are expected to appear in public court dockets and the inmate system maintained by the Harris County Sheriff's Office.
