Harris County Constable Precinct 4 deputies say a quick weekend stop in north Houston turned into a weapons and drug bust, with one person hauled off to jail and more charges possibly on the way.
According to the constable’s office, deputies in the 11000 block of Antoine Drive on Saturday recovered a firearm and suspected narcotics, then arrested one individual at the scene. The person was booked on charges of unlawful carrying of a weapon and possession of a controlled substance, and the office says additional charges may be pending. Constable Mark Herman publicly praised his team for getting an illegal gun and suspected drugs off Precinct 4 streets.
Constable’s Post Shows Scene Photos
The constable’s office laid out the basics in a social media post that included photos from the scene. The update notes that deputies recovered a weapon and suspected narcotics and that they have “one person in custody” in the 11000 block of Antoine Drive.
According to Mark Herman, Harris County Constable Precinct 4, the individual was booked on unlawful carry and possession charges, and “additional charges may be pending” as the case moves forward. For residents who want real-time alerts or a place to send tips, the constable’s office points to its C4 NOW app and contact options listed on the Constable Precinct 4 website.
Social Posts Often Hit Before Paperwork
Precinct 4 has made a habit of posting quick-hit arrest summaries and photos to its social feeds, often hours or days before the courts catch up. Local outlets have tracked that pattern in other cases, including a recent incident where deputies bag big drug stash in north Houston.
Because those social updates can land before formal filings, booking logs and court records may not immediately show the latest arrest. If prosecutors decide to file charges in this Antoine Drive case, the official paperwork will appear in the public records on the Harris County District Clerk portal and on the county jail roster maintained through the sheriff’s site.
What the Charges Cover
Unlawful carrying of a weapon is defined in Texas Penal Code §46.02. Depending on the circumstances, it can be handled as a misdemeanor or, if certain factors are present, elevated to a felony.
Drug possession allegations fall under the Texas Controlled Substances Act, which sorts drugs into penalty groups and sets punishment ranges by both the type of substance and the amount involved. Prosecutors review lab test results and the rest of the evidence before settling on the final list of charges.
How To Track The Case Or Send In Tips
Anyone who has tips, surveillance footage or other information related to the Antoine Drive arrest is asked to contact Precinct 4 dispatch at 281-376-3472 or to use the C4 NOW app and the contact tools listed on the Constable Precinct 4 website.
For those who want to follow what happens next, custody status and upcoming court dates can be checked through the county jail roster and by searching public case records on the Harris County District Clerk site once filings appear.
