Harris County Deputies Arrest Two for Weapons, Drugs After Traffic Stop in North HoustonSource: Facebook/Mark Herman, Harris County Constable Precinct 4

In a crackdown on illegal weapons and drugs, a routine traffic stop by Harris County deputies took a sharp turn ending with two arrests in the suburban streets of north Houston. Deputies from Constable Mark Herman's Office pulled over a vehicle on April 30, in the 22900 block of Koback Corners Street; they encountered more than they had bargained for as they approached the vehicle, an unmistakable whiff of marijuana tipped off the search, according to a Facebook post by Constable Mark Herman's Office.

Marijuana wasn’t the only contraband found in the vehicle – authorities discovered two weapons, one of which was fitted with an illegal modification known as an automatic glock switch, a device that effectively transforms a handgun into an automatic weapon, the possession of such devices have been ratcheting up the concern among law enforcement circles. "Both suspects were arrested and booked into the Harris County Jail," stated Constable Mark Herman in the same social media update, with Jordan Daniel facing charges for Possession of a Prohibited Weapon, and Standrell Garmon for Unlawful Carrying of a Weapon, showing once again how routine stops can spiral into significant busts.

The judicial aftermath for the accused set a contrasting narrative, as Standrell Garmon's bond was set at a mere $100.00 out of County Court 11, such a low sum in the eyes of jurisprudence often renders the bail system a mere formality, however, Jordan Daniel remains held without bail, his bond not set at the time of reporting, leaving his fate to the discretion of the 338th District Court as the wheels of justice grind forward at their own deliberate pace.
