Deputies with Harris County Precinct 4 deployed their Tasers on a man accused of banging on random doors in a northwest Harris County neighborhood after he allegedly turned combative and assaulted multiple officers during the encounter. The suspect now faces three felony charges, including an attempt to disarm one of the deputies who responded.
Constable Mark Herman's office says deputies were dispatched to the 2500 block of Ravenwind Road in the Rushwood subdivision to investigate reports of a suspicious male reportedly banging on random doors in the neighborhood, according to Mark Herman, Harris County Constable Precinct 4. The subdivision sits in ZIP code 77067 within the Spring Independent School District, per HAR.com. According to the precinct's account, the suspect became combative once deputies made contact, assaulting multiple deputies before being taken into custody.
Tasers Used Before Suspect Was Subdued
Deputies deployed their Tasers during the struggle to bring the suspect under control, the precinct's report states. He received medical attention at the scene before being transported and booked into the Harris County Jail. The suspect was ultimately charged with three felonies: disarming a police officer and two counts of assault on a public servant.
Texas law treats both allegations as serious felony-level offenses. Intentionally or recklessly causing bodily injury to someone known to be a public servant lawfully performing their duty is a third-degree felony under Texas Penal Code § 22.01(b)(1), punishable by two to 10 years in state prison and a fine of up to $10,000, according to the Thiessen Law Firm. Separately, Texas Penal Code § 38.14 makes taking or attempting to take a weapon — including a firearm or Taser — from a peace officer by force its own third-degree felony, carrying the same two-to-10-year sentencing range and up to $10,000 in fines, per the L&L Law Group.
A Recurring Pattern for Precinct 4 Deputies
This is not the first time a routine call in Precinct 4's territory has escalated into a violent confrontation and disarming attempt. Hoodline previously reported that a Houston man tried to disarm a deputy and struck another officer after slipping his restraints during a December 2024 arrest, facing identical charges to those now filed against the Ravenwind Road suspect. In September 2025, a Harris County resident was charged with assault on a public servant after allegedly attacking a Precinct 4 deputy responding to a residential disturbance call on Russet Field Court, and in May 2024 a suspect wanted on an active assault warrant kicked officers inside a patrol vehicle following an alleged baseball bat attack.
Harris County Precinct 4 is the largest constable precinct in the country, employing more than 600 sworn deputies who serve over 1.1 million residents across 520 square miles of northern Harris County, according to the Houston Landing. That scope means deputies routinely serve as first responders to nuisance calls, like reports of someone banging on doors, that can turn combative without warning. Mark Herman has led the precinct as constable since 2015 and was re-elected in November 2024 to a term running through 2028, according to Ballotpedia.
Precinct Promotes Its Real-Time Alert App
Along with the incident report, the precinct's post promoted its C4 NOW mobile app, which provides residents with live feeds on crime, arrests, safety tips, and traffic accidents. The app functions as a real-time public communication channel the constable's office uses alongside social media to keep residents informed about incidents like the one on Ravenwind Road.
