On May 12, 2025, deputies from Constable Mark Herman’s Office responded to a report of a suspicious vehicle potentially linked with a copper theft at a business in the 2000 block of Spring Stuebner Road in Spring, TX. Upon arrival, deputies noticed a box truck driving southbound on the North Freeway (Interstate 45).
Constable deputies conducted a traffic stop on the box truck in the 19000 block of North Freeway. The white male driver exited the vehicle and fled into a wooded area beside the freeway feeder route.
A cordon was promptly constructed, and Constable K9 “R.E. Moore” and drone units were dispatched to track down the fleeing culprit. The drone operator discovered a heat source deep within the wooded region, which led the K9 deputy and his partner to the suspect’s location.
The culprit, Christopher Charles Fry, refused to obey verbal directions, prompting a K9 apprehension. Fry suffered injuries and was sent to a nearby hospital for treatment before being medically cleared.
Constable Mark Herman stated, “Christopher Fry was arrested and booked into the Harris County Jail, charged with Evading on Foot, and Felony Theft. His total bond was set at $40,100.00 out of the 228th District Court and County Court 4.”
