The situation escalated when the man, identified as a veteran with PTSD, emerged with a firearm and pointed it at deputies before returning inside his home, where he was with his wife and two young children. “He told authorities they didn’t have a warrant, and he wasn’t going to come out,” according to a statement obtained by the Harris County Sherif’s Office, cited by

Further involvement by law enforcement ensued as the constable’s office sought and gained multiple felony charges against the man for aggravated assault on a public servant and evading in a motor vehicle, as reflected in a recent
