On Saturday, August 5, 2023 at approximately 12:38 AM, Precinct 8 Deputy Morgan with Constable Phil Sandlin’s Office was conducting narcotic interdiction when he observed a suspicious vehicle parked in the 1100 block of Edgebrook Dr. Deputy Morgan continued to monitor the vehicle and observed the vehicle leave the parking lot.
Deputy Morgan proceeded to follow the vehicle and initiated a traffic stop after observing multiple traffic infractions. The driver was identified as 58 year old Calvin Wayne Moore. Deputy Morgan requested a K9 unit to check by for further investigation. During the process of being detained, Moore began to resist and struck Deputy Morgan in the nose. Deputies were able to apprehend Moore after a brief struggle. A Pasadena Police Officer and his K9 partner arrived on scene and conducted an open air sniff of the vehicle in which the K9 unit alerted for the presence of narcotics. Deputies conducted a probable cause search of the vehicle and located 1.8 grams of crack cocaine.
The Harris County District Attorney’s Office was contacted and accepted felony charges for Assault on Peace Officer and Possession of a Controlled Substance. Moore was transported to the Harris County Joint Processing Center. No bonds have been set at this time.
