What started as a routine late-night traffic stop in north Harris County did not stay that way for long. Deputies with Harris County Constable Precinct 4 say they pulled over a vehicle near the 2700 block of FM 1960 Road on Wednesday night and ended up arresting the driver after finding a firearm inside the vehicle. The driver was taken into custody on a felony possession of a firearm charge. The constable's social media post did not include the suspect's name or booking details.
What The Constable's Office Posted
According to Harris County Constable Precinct 4, deputies initiated the stop near the 2700 block of FM 1960 Road, where they say the driver was found in possession of a firearm. The post states that the driver was arrested at the scene and charged with felony possession of a firearm. The precinct also used the post to nudge residents to follow its social channels and download the "C4 Now" mobile app for ongoing updates.
Penalties Under Texas Law
Under state law, some firearm-possession offenses are treated as felonies. Unlawful possession of a firearm by a convicted felon is set out in Texas Penal Code §46.04. A third-degree felony is punishable by two to ten years in prison under Texas Penal Code §12.34. The exact charge and any eventual sentence will depend on prosecutors' decisions and the facts investigators develop.
How This Fits A Pattern
Hoodline has tracked multiple Precinct 4 traffic stops along FM 1960 and nearby corridors that escalated into felony arrests or gun-related recoveries, including a prior FM 1960 felony stop. The constable's office has leaned on social media to share arrest photos and quick case summaries as part of its public outreach.
No further information was released in the latest social post. County booking records or a future press release may provide additional details as the case moves through the system. All arrests are allegations, and the person charged is presumed innocent until proven guilty in court.
