Houston Metro Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force arrest 13 adult men with solicitation of a minor

Sep 13, 2018

“Every one of these suspects thought they were meeting a 13 to 15-year-old boy or girl,” says Harris County Precinct 1 Constable Alan Rosen. “It doesn’t get sicker than that.”

A local undercover operation involving sex, the internet and social media has led to the arrest of 13 adult men, all of whom thought they were hooking up with children.

The undercover cops posed as minors on various online and social media apps in order to chat-up the adults suspected of sexually exploiting children. The men believed they were soliciting sex or sex-related acts.

This was a more than 30-hour sting operation last month and involved 50 members of law enforcement.  The Houston Metro Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force led the initiative in conjunction with the constable`s office and HPD.

Constable Rosen office leads the effort to combat illegal dumping with cameras, drones

Aug 3, 2018

Randy Scales perches on the edge of his chair, eyes squinting as he watches footage of a young man in a red-and-black work uniform hopping out of a cargo truck carrying a mountain of trash.

This is Scales’ morning routine: Get to work and fire up last night’s surveillance tapes, beginning a new chapter of the never-ending investigation into illegal dumping in Houston. Today, his subject is a perpetrator who pays two strangers a few bucks to help him unload a pile of oil drums, tires and more than a dozen wooden pallets into a ditch on the otherwise deserted road.

At the crime scene, investigators overwhelmed by the rancid smell of petroleum and stewing trash take pictures and comb for evidence. The company name on the side of the truck, the address listed on an oil drum and other clues they collect could help lead them to the suspect.

“We catch 1 percent of the 1 percent of people violating,” Scales said. “Everyday there are people dumping trash on land or in waterways.”

Scales, a Harris County Environmental Crimes Unit lieutenant, and his team of nine investigators depend heavily on video cameras to crack down on illegal dumping, a crime that disproportionally affects the city’s poorest neighborhoods.

The City Council voted last month to add 22 cameras to create a portfolio of nearly 150 total. Precinct 1’s nearly $600,000 program also includes a fleet of drones, as well as several full-time employees.

It’s paying dividends: A two-year program started in 2016 to catch those who illegally dump their trash in remote locations across Houston yielded 694 investigations and 396 charges.

“It’s been working for the city as a whole — better than what we thought,” said Jerry Davis, the councilman for District B, who initiated the program to catch illegal dumping.

The majority are people charged in the crime are private citizens: The average offender is a 50-year-old who dumps 75 pounds of waste, according to statistics the county provided. Contractors looking to dodge the expense of paying to throw away their garbage at a designated facility account for just 20 percent of offenders.

Custom-designed cameras track movement of cars and people and automatically zoom, according to Assistant Chief Deputy Chris Gore. And where the cameras can’t go, drones can. They are flown once a week to gather evidence, Precinct 1 Constable Alan Rosen said, adding that they can obtain search warrants through the District Attorney’s office when needed. For instance, Rosen said drones could be used to track a business that has been routinely dumping in a back parking lot.

“Our drone pilot can fly above a scene if we need them to with the proper paperwork and get video footage that way as well,” he said. “When you have video evidence, it’s pretty conclusive.”

Video evidence is all the District Attorney’s Office needs to prosecute someone. Prosecutors who specialize in environmental crimes can charge violators with anything from a Class C misdemeanor, the equivalent of a traffic ticket, to a felony depending on the weight, quality and type of debris.

Waste greater than 1,000 pounds can lead to a felony. Toxic chemicals or waste dumped into water can also carry more severe charges.

The suspect caught in the most recent footage could face two felony charges: One for illegally dumping roughly 2,000 pounds of trash and the other for illegally dumping used oil cans. To make matters worse, the trash was dumped roughly 50 feet away from the bayou, which leads to the Ship Channel and Galveston Bay.

A person charged under the Used Oil Collection Act — which prohibits the dumping of used oil, which contains total petroleum hydrocarbons and metal shavings that can harm wildlife and pollute waterways — faces an automatic fine of $50,000.

Beyond just being eyesores, illegal dumping sites present serious consequences, including being safety hazards and serving as a breeding ground for potentially disease-ridden mosquitoes, snakes and other wildlife. Dumping sites can also contribute to flooding and could potentially have a serious impact in future weather disasters.

“When you have drains that have been stopped up because people put furniture and tires and plastic, it’s going to cause flooding,” Rosen said.

He said people often begin dumping sites in ditches, where water collects and carries debris downstream, blocking waterways. But Rosen said it is especially unfair because it affects the quality of life for many communities.

“Is it right that people illegally dump in one neighborhood, but they don’t in another neighborhood?” he said. “We have to protect those vulnerable neighborhoods from people who go into the neighborhoods that are more vulnerable and trash them.”

Chris Powell, who lives down the street from the crime scene being investigated, said he has given up on the site because it routinely goes through a cycle of being cleaned up and then trashed.

“I don’t know what can be done,” Powell said, holding his 10-month-old son Frederick on his hip. “No one is watching it consistently,” unaware of the cameras which are monitoring the road.

He said the solution is community members “taking ownership” of the neighborhood.

“Whatever our city is spending money on, it will only change with more development,” he said.

Rosalind Raikes, Powell’s 64-year-old neighbor, grew up on the block and called it aggravating and frustrating to watch her neighborhood being trashed.

“It’s just nasty,” she said with disgust. “I’m sick of it.”

Her home first belonged to her grandmother, and the address is listed on the birth certificates of her 10 brothers and sisters, but the living conditions have pushed her to move.

She calls the health department, the city’s 311 hotline for illegal dumping and animal control. She is an active member of her community who makes the effort to maintain her property with groomed flower beds and a tidy front porch

“Why should I have to move out of my grandmother’s house?” she demanded.

Raikes was unaware of the steps the city is taking to crack down on the dumping.

But in the shadows, the Environmental Crimes Unit carries on its investigation. “It’s just a matter of when we’re gonna catch you,” Scales said. “Not if, but when. We’ll catch you.”

Second suspect arrested in connection with theft and pawn of over $33,000 in Home Depot merchandise

Jun 28, 2018

Harris County- Precinct 1 Constable Alan Rosen’s Office has booked Jose Hernandez into custody on a charge of “Engaging in organized criminal activity” in relation to the theft of more than $33,000 worth of inventory from Home Depot stores across the greater Houston area.

Hernandez was arrested this morning at his home in the 1900 blk. of Roxella without incident. He is a manager at the Cash America Pawn shop, located in the 9400 block of Jensen, at which deputies discovered much of the illegally obtained equipment. Those items include generators, chainsaws, paint sprayers and welding equipment.

Our investigation revealed Hernandez worked in concert with Juan Carlos Lopez., who we arrested on June 22. Lopez would swap bar code stickers off the expensive items at Home Depot and replace them with bar code stickers from items costing considerably less. He would then purchase those items, unbeknownst to the cashiers at the Home Depot stores. In all, at least 20 Home Depot stores across the area were targeted. Deputies say Lopez would bring the items to the pawn shop to sell.

Deputies became suspicious of Hernandez during the course of their investigation. He admitted prior to his arrest that he knew the items he accepted at the pawn shop were stolen. Many were still in original packaging. Deputies have now recovered nearly all of the items. “If you’re planning on stealing, you should plan on getting caught,” said Constable Alan Rosen. “I love holding people accountable that break the law.”

Engaging in organized criminal activity is a second degree felony, punishable by 2 to 20 years in prison if convicted, plus a $10,000 fine.

In addition to the theft charge against Lopez, he now also faces a charge of engaging in organized criminal activity.

Another arrest and charges may follow. This case remains under investigation. Mug shot of Hernandez attached.

Suspect accused of stealing over $30,000 worth of merchandise from several Houston-area Home Depot stores

Suspect accused of stealing over $30,000 worth of merchandise from several Houston-area Home Depot stores

Jun 22, 2018

Harris County – Harris County Precinct 1 Constable Alan Rosen’s Office has arrested Juan Carlos Lopez, 32, on suspicion of one count of third degree felony theft. Deputies located Lopez at his home this morning in the 13900 block of Fieldstone Drive in Houston. He attempted to run out the back door of the home but deputies were able to take him into custody inside the home without further incident. Lopez was not armed.

Precinct 1 initially responded to Home Depot’s request for assistance after the company discovered more than $30,000 in merchandise missing from at least 15 stores around the greater Houston area. The thefts are alleged to have occurred between April and June. Investigators are still working to determine how the thefts occurred but there is some evidence suggesting Lopez swapped price tags on the equipment with less expensive items before checking out at the cash registers. The items included generators, welding equipment, chainsaws and paint sprayers.

As a result of our quick investigative work, deputies were able to locate some of the items at the Cash America Pawn Shop located in the 9400 block of Jensen. Deputies say Lopez pawned the items there. Precinct 1 was able to recover about $10,000 worth of the stolen equipment which was being readied for resale.

“Precinct 1 prides itself on upholding the law. Stealing, especially in cases of this magnitude, will not be tolerated,” said Constable Alan Rosen. “I’m glad we solved this crime.” Deputies say Lopez has confessed to his involvement in these crimes.

This is still an active investigation. This is all the information we can release at this time. More charges may be filed and more arrests may follow.

Harris County Constable Pct. 1 K9’s LeMans, Bax, Edo, Lethal, Stori, and Edge have received body armors

Feb 22, 2018

Harris County Constable Pct. 1 K9’s LeMans, Bax, Edo, Lethal, Stori, & Edge have received bullet and stab protective vests thanks to a charitable donation from non-profit organization Vested Interest in K9s, Inc. K9’s LeMans, Bax, Edo, & Stori’s vests were embroidered with the sentiment “In memory of K9 Rocco, Pittsburgh Bureau of Police.” K9 Lethal’s vest was embroidered with the sentiment “In memory of K9 Ty, California City Police Department.” K9 Edge’s vest was sponsored by an Anonymous Sponsor and embroidered with the sentiment “Honoring those who served and sacrificed.”

 

Vested Interest in K9s, Inc. is a 501c(3) charity located in East Taunton, MA whose mission is to provide bullet and stab protective vests and other assistance to dogs of law enforcement and related agencies throughout the United States. The non-profit was established in 2009 to assist law enforcement agencies with this potentially lifesaving body armor for their four-legged K9 officers.
