SAGEMONT CIVIC CLUB GETS GREAT COMMUNITY SUPPORT FOR FLOODING ASSISTANCE
Constable Jerry Garcia wants to take a moment to recognize the fantastic folks at the Sagemont Civic Club! Upon hearing the needs of the flooded communities in and around Kerrville Ms.
Kay Barbour with the Sagemont Civic Club lept into action. She immediately began organizing the acceptance of donations to directly assist and support those in need.
With the help of the Gardens Event Hall and Tigers Eye Party Rental, and numerous volunteers they were able to gather a huge amount of food, clothing, cleaning products, water, and numerous other items for the victims and first responders. These donations were gathered over the next few days by the wonderful volunteers.
On Thursday morning deputies with Constable Garcia’s Office assisted with the transportation of these goods to Gallery Furniture, where Mattress Mack has organized the transportation of these goods to Kerrville and the surrounding communities.
We cannot thank all the above people enough, including all the wonderful people of our community that provided these much needed donations. The love and support you have all shown is truly remarkable! Thank you again, and God Bless.

I’m Pooh Bear and I’m reaching out for help… 💔
I have zero applications and not one person has asked to meet me. The shelter doesn’t understand why…
I love people. I press myself against the kennel door just to feel a gentle scratch. I melt when you touch me. But when someone walks away, I cry… because I don’t understand why no one stays.
But I’m on the Urgent List now 🚨. I don’t think I have much time left. Please don’t let me disappear without ever knowing what love feels like….

Fill the Bus is a partnership between the City of Pasadena, Pasadena Independent School District and the Pasadena Chamber of Commerce.
Created in 2018 by the City of Pasadena, Fill the Bus provides school supply support for local teachers. Every school year, teachers across the country are forced to personally subsidize school supplies for their classrooms, especially in Title I school districts like Pasadena ISD.
Fill the Bus aims to provide school supplies for every child in Pasadena while empowering teachers to decide which materials are best for their own classrooms.

RECKLESS DRIVER ARRESTED AND CHARGED WITH DEADLY CONDUCT
On Monday July 7, 2025, night shift deputies with Constable Jerry Garcia’s Patrol Division observed a vehicle performing donuts in a parking lot located at the 10500 block of the Gulf Freeway. The smell of burning rubber and smoke were immediately observed by the deputy. The deputy also observed various other persons and vehicles parked around the vehicle performing this reckless act and immediately pulled in to stop this action. As the deputy pulled in the driver quickly exited and attempted to drive off. The deputy quickly caught up to the vehicle and was able to perform a traffic stop. Upon stopping the suspect vehicle, an investigation was completed, and the driver was ultimately arrested and charged with Reckless Driving and Deadly Conduct for placing several people in the area in danger from her reckless driving. At this time the suspect, identified as 26 year old Connie Rosas was transported to the Harris County Jail without incident. Constable Garcia wants the public to know that his deputies take action every time to prevent these types of dangerous actions, which have caused recent injuries and deaths at local car meets.
Please stay safe and God Bless.

In Remembrance of Officer J.D. Ginn:
On July 10, 1991, Pasadena Police Motorcycle Officer J.D. Ginn responded to a residence after observing smoke billowing from a fenced-in backyard. The mentally disturbed homeowner confronted Officer Ginn, and during an exchange of gunfire, Officer Ginn was shot and killed in the line of duty. He was 29 years of age.
We will always remember Officer Ginn’s ultimate sacrifice to uphold the Oath he swore to protect and serve his community. We tragically lost Officer Ginn 34 years ago today, and although he is gone, he will never be forgotten.

Grateful Beyond Words – Thank You, UPS Industrial Services
We want to take a moment to truly thank UPS Industrial Services for consistently supporting our Pasadena Police family. Your support over the years has meant more than words can ever fully express.
Because of your continued generosity toward the Assist the Officer Fund, we’re able to provide much-needed assistance to our officers and civilian staff during some of life’s most difficult moments—whether it’s a serious injury, a critical illness, or a crisis that takes them away from work. And when the unimaginable happens and we lose one of our own, the fund is there immediately to support their family. That kind of care truly matters—and we don’t take it for granted.
The fund also allows us to award scholarships to the children of officers who are pursuing their dreams through higher education. This is just one more way your support continues to make a lasting impact.
UPS Industrial, you’re more than just a partner, you’re part of the family. We see you, we appreciate you, and we’re incredibly grateful to walk this path with you.
To the board—Rob Anderson, Mike Phillips, Georgia Cook, Charlie Sanders, Brandon Marshall, and Brian Werner—thank you for pouring your hearts into this cause. We know this isn’t just a side project for you. You care deeply, and it shows.
Everyone passes by Mario and we don’t know why 💔.

Bandit LOVES all dogs and is a playgroup rockstar! ⭐️
We tried contacting his owner with his microchip information, but his owner never updated their phone number or came to look for Bandit.
We don’t understand why because Bandit is very sweet and great in doggy playgroups. But poor Bandit has been here for a while, and is showing signs of kennel stress.
And now he’s on the Urgent List 💔…could you be the one to save him?

Dash is a smart and loving boy 🐶.
We can tell he used to have owner because he’s dog friendly, people friendly, potty trained, walks well on a leash, and he knows sit, shake (with both paws), down, and spin.

Could you be the one to give this good boy a good home?

In recognition of his new appointment, we wanted to help the public become better acquainted with Pasadena Police Department’s new Chief of Police, M.P. Jackson.
Chief Jackson began his law enforcement career in 1977 after completing the Texas Engineering Extension Service (TEEX) Police Academy in Baytown, Texas. He served with the University of Houston–Clear Lake Police Department for two years before applying and being accepted to the Pasadena Police Academy in 1979. Over a distinguished career spanning more than four decades, he rose through the ranks, serving in the role of Assistant Chief of Police for nearly 12 years. During that time, he held the position of Interim Chief of Police for 15 months.
Chief Jackson received an Associate’s degree in Law Enforcement and a Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice from San Jacinto College and the University of Houston-Downtown, respectively. In time, he returned to the University of Houston and completed the Certified Public Manager Program. In addition to traditional academia, Chief Jackson is also a graduate of the FBI National Academy (Session 227), the Law Enforcement Management Institute of Texas/Leadership and Command College, and received the FBI-LEEDA Trilogy Award.
During his tenure, Chief Jackson helped secure over $850,000 in funding to strengthen department operations. This included federal stimulus funding for a Mobile Crime Scene/Command Post vehicle and technology upgrades, forfeiture assets from the Harris County District Attorney’s office for a firearms range baffling system, and HGAC funding for a SWAT armored “BearCat” vehicle. He also worked with state partners to obtain a facility for commercial vehicle enforcement. Overall, these efforts enhanced officer safety, investigative capabilities, and departmental readiness.
Chief Jackson’s leadership has been recognized with numerous honors, including the “Excellence in Leadership Award” (Pasadena Industrial Community Network), the “Community Builder Award” (Archives Lodge #1399), and multiple Chief’s Citations for high-profile investigative successes, including the resolution of nine homicide cases in 2023.
Chief Jackson’s influence extends far beyond our department. He has served on over a dozen boards and advisory councils, including the FBI Regional Computer Forensics Lab, the San Jacinto College Criminal Justice Advisory Board, and the Harris County Children’s Assessment Center. His leadership roles in education, civic service, and emergency response have had a significant impact on the community, underscoring his continued influence and dedication to public safety.
These examples represent just a few of the many contributions Chief Jackson has made over the years. Chief Jackson remains an active member of law enforcement associations at the local, state, and national levels, reflecting a lifetime of service, leadership, and dedication to public safety.
Stars, stripes, and celebration! 🇺🇸✨ Our 4th of July parade was bursting with red, white, and blue spirit. Thanks to everyone who came out to celebrate freedom, fun, and community with us!
Stay safe, God bless!
This Fourth of July, we hope you and your loved ones create joyful memories, while keeping safety front and center:
Think twice before firing a gun into the air. Every bullet must come down somewhere, and celebratory gunfire can cause serious injury, property damage, or even loss of life.
Unauthorized fireworks can spark wildfires or structure fires, cause burns, and injure bystanders.
Discharging a firearm within Pasadena city limits is a Class A misdemeanor: up to 1 year in jail and a $4,000 fine.
Possession or use of fireworks violates municipal code and can carry fines up to $2,000 plus forfeiture of the fireworks.

Detective Promotions & Sergeant Promotion
We had the honor of hosting a packed house to celebrate several well-deserved promotions within our department.

These individuals have shown exceptional dedication, professionalism, and heart in everything they do. We are truly blessed to have such outstanding deputies serving our community.
We also want to extend a special congratulations to Sgt. Cano, who was promoted to School Sergeant! His tireless work in keeping our schools safe has not gone unnoticed. This promotion is well-earned and well-deserved.
Thank you to everyone who came out to support these milestones. Moments like these remind us why we serve and who we serve alongside. 💙

**UPDATE**
We greatly appreciate the fervent response from the community and just wish to clarify about the information we are seeking in this post. We are in contact with Lewis and are not looking for help in locating him at this time. Currently, we are asking for any other persons who have fallen victim to a similar incident with Lewis, either this year or in past years, to please reach out and let Det. Satterwhite know the details of your experience.
We are seeking the public’s assistance in an ongoing investigation regarding a Facebook page setup for an 18U softball team. The coach, identified as Thaddeus Lewis, accepted fees for a softball team that he told parents would cover uniforms, practices and multiple tournaments. Following a few practices, Lewis failed to show up at or pay for any practices and tournaments. Lewis’s phone was ultimately disconnected, and the team’s Group Me was deleted, thus eliminating any communication with parents.
Based on information we have, we believe that Lewis has done the same thing in past years.
If you or someone you know has had a similar incident with Thaddeus Lewis, we encourage you to reach out to Detective Satterwhite and provide the details of your encounter.
See the attached photos of Lewis and the team logo.

💔 Dixie’s owner never came back for her.
She was adopted in January… and returned to us as a stray in June. We called. We left voicemails. But no one came.

A volunteer favorite, Dixie is dog friendly, potty trained, appears kid friendly, and knows commands. She’s just looking for someone who won’t give up on her.
But now she’s on the Urgent List 🚨, and time is running out. Could you be the one who gives her the love she’s always deserved?

🎆🇺🇸 Fourth of July Fireworks: Know the Rules for Harris County, TX! 🇺🇸🎆
✅ DO buy fireworks legally — retail sales are allowed from June 24 through midnight July 4 in unincorporated Harris County.
✅ DO check your location — fireworks are illegal inside Houston and most nearby cities; only allowed in unincorporated areas.
✅ DO respect safety buffers — keep fireworks at least 600 ft from prohibited locations such as: churches, hospitals, schools, daycares, and 100 ft from gas stations, fireworks stands, or fuel storage.
✅ DO use common safety steps — light one at a time, have water nearby, supervise kids and pets, read labels.
✅ DO contact authorities — if you spot celebratory gunfire, call our dispatch (713) 477-4070
🚫 DON’T attempt fireworks in city limits — violations carry fines of $500–$2,000 per firework.
🚫 DON’T ignite fireworks near or from vehicles — it’s illegal and dangerous.
🚫 DON’T relight duds or throw fireworks in metal/glass containers — they can explode unpredictably.
🚫 DON’T let kids handle fireworks unsupervised — even sparklers burn at ~1200°F and cause many injuries.
🚫 DON’T mix fireworks with alcohol or drugs — impaired use leads to accidents.
🐾 Pet safety tip: Keep pets indoors with collars on, blinds closed, and offer comforting distractions — loud noises can disorient them.

🚓 Disturbance Call Leads to Criminal Trespass Arrest 🚓
Deputies were dispatched to the 10700 block of Edgebrook Dr in reference to a disturbance involving an individual who refused to leave a business. Upon arrival, deputies identified the individual as Sudan Thomas.
Mr. Thomas was informed that the business no longer wanted him on the property, and deputies instructed him to leave the area. A short time later, while still in the vicinity, deputies observed Mr. Thomas return and reenter the business.
Deputies made contact with him a second time, and the Harris County District Attorney’s Office was consulted. Mr. Thomas was charged with Criminal Trespass.

Governor Greg Abbott has announced that the City of Pasadena is now a Music Friendly Texas Certified Community, a designation awarded by the Texas Music Office (TMO). This recognition highlights Pasadena’s commitment to fostering music-related economic growth and job creation through the TMO’s statewide program—the first of its kind in the nation.
Governor Abbott praised Pasadena’s achievement, noting that Texas’s music industry supports 196,000 jobs and generates over $31 billion in annual economic activity. Senator Carol Alvarado and Mayor Jeff Wagner both celebrated the city’s rich musical legacy—from Mickey Gilley’s honky-tonk roots and the Pasadena Philharmonic to Tejano legends like La Fiebre.
Local leaders, including Councilwoman Pat Van Houte and representatives from the Pasadena Livestock Show & Rodeo and the Strawberry Festival, echoed pride in the city’s musical diversity and heritage. They emphasized how the designation strengthens local culture, tourism, and economic opportunity while inspiring future generations of artists.
The official certification ceremony will take place during Pasadena’s annual 4th Fest celebration, cohosted by the TMO, Pasadena Economic Development Corporation, and Visit Pasadena. TMO’s Gini Mascorro will present the honor, marking a milestone in Pasadena’s ongoing musical journey.

Yesterday, we honored the retirement of Chief Jerry Wright after 33 years of service and Detective Donna Wright with 23 years of service, marking the close of a remarkable journey with the Pasadena Police Department.
Chief Wright, a Pasadena native, began his journey as a dispatcher at just 19. Rising through every rank over 33 years, he never lost his heart for service or his commitment to community. From patrol and investigations to leading the department as Chief, his focus remained clear: reduce crime, build trust, and take care of the officers who serve. Under his leadership, morale soared, innovation thrived, and lives of many were changed for the better.
Detective Donna Wright’s public service journey began as a paramedic, where she answered critical medical calls with courage and compassion for nearly 12 years. Her path led her to Pasadena PD in 2002, and in 2005 she proudly became a Pasadena Police Officer. Donna served for seven years on Evening Shift Patrol where she honed her investigative skills and developed a passion for serving crime victims, which led her to a six year journey in the Violent Crimes Division. Detective Wright found a new meaning and purpose serving victims and their families during some of the most unimaginably difficult times of their lives. For the last seven years, Detective Wright served in the Financial Crimes Division investigating one of the fastest growing crimes in our nation. She gave a voice to countless fraud victims and brought to justice those who preyed upon them, not only in Pasadena, but across the country. And even with all of that, her insatiable dedication to service did not stop there—she was also a Crisis Negotiator, TCOLE Instructor, and Master Peace Officer.
Donna and Jerry’s stories are individually powerful—but together, they represent a legacy of dedication, teamwork, and integrity. Chief Wright and Detective Donna Wright first and foremost served their community by relentlessly pursuing justice for victims. This dynamic duo filed Harris County criminal charges on well over a thousand suspects for the most serious offenses, from crimes against children to serial aggravated robberies to homicides. They’ve both served with honor and humility, and inspired countless individuals every step of the way.
As they step into this next chapter side by side, we wish them nothing but peaceful mornings, well-earned rest, and new adventures with their family.
Thank you, Chief Wright and Detective Wright, for the extraordinary service you so freely gave to the Pasadena Police Department.

LPPD Focuses Efforts on Impaired Drivers During the Holiday
On July 4th, America celebrates the birth of our nation. Around the holiday, sadly, we often see an increase in impaired driving crashes. 2024 saw more than 1,000 drunk driving-related deaths. The July 4 holiday season had more than 5,000 DUI-related crashes, resulting in 64 deaths and over 200 injuries. That’s why TxDOT, law enforcement officials, and other key partners are working together this Fourth of July and increasing their presence across the state as part of a statewide High Visibility Enforcement effort.
Texans will notice an increased presence of law enforcement officials during the Fourth of July weekend as part of an aggressive crackdown on impaired drivers. DPS and other law enforcement agencies throughout Texas have received federal grants to increase enforcement efforts over the holiday weekend.
Tips to Celebrate Safely
• If you plan to drink, make a plan ahead of time for a sober ride home.
• Even if you’ve had only one drink, let someone who hasn’t been drinking take you home. A sober driver is one who does not drink at all, not the one who’s had the least to drink.
• If you’re hosting a Fourth of July gathering, help the designated drivers out by making sure there are plenty of non-alcoholic beverages.
• Have a friend who is about to drive impaired? Take the keys away and make arrangements to get your friend home safely.
• If you see an impaired driver on the road, safely pull over and call 911.
• Always wear your seat belt.
As an enforcement strategy, the La Porte Police Department (LPPD) is using funds through ongoing assistance from a Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) Impaired Driving Mobilization (IDM) grant. The Independence Day enforcement period is June 26 – July 13, 2025. With this grant, additional LPPD officers will be deployed during each of these holiday periods on an overtime basis, to watch for impaired drivers on local roadways. Anyone operating a vehicle and found to be intoxicated will be arrested. Suspected intoxicated drivers who refuse to provide a breath test will be the subject of a search warrant and have their blood drawn for blood alcohol level testing.
All TXDOT’s S.T.E.P. (Selective Traffic Enforcement Program) campaigns are designed to reduce both motor vehicle accidents and the residual effects incurred by impaired motorists. The programs have consistently proven to reduce injuries, fatalities, and property damage along major thoroughfares and at high-collision/high-density intersections. For more information on La Porte Police Department’s involvement in the State’s various S.T.E.P. programs, please contact LPPD at 281-842-3115 and follow us on Facebook at @LaPortePoliceDepartment.

Hi, I’m Dottie. Life changed when my person got sick and couldn’t care for me anymore. I know she loved me. And now I just want someone else to love me too….
I’m playful, smart, and mostly housetrained. I get along with other dogs, bark at strangers (just at first), and I really just need someone patient to help me settle in.
But I’m on the Urgent List now 🚨 and my time is almost up. Please… don’t let me fade away here.

It is with great respect and gratitude that we announce the retirement of Chief Wright, after 33 years of dedicated service to the Pasadena Police Department. His journey is a testament to selfless service, humble heart, and relentless work ethic, which have left a lasting mark on our city.
Chief Wright, a Pasadena native, began his path right here in town, shaped by the values of hard work and compassion instilled by his family. He joined the department in 1991 as a dispatcher and graduated from the police academy in 1996. Throughout his career he embraced some of the most challenging roles, from investigating sensitive crimes against children and domestic violence to serving as a Polygraph Examiner, always displaying immense strength and determination.
Rising through the ranks to Lieutenant and then Assistant Chief, he led with integrity, overseeing critical units and mentoring countless officers. In 2023 he was appointed Chief of Police, and he immediately focused on crime suppression, strengthening community partnerships, and ensuring employee resilience. In less than two years, his initiatives produced a drop in crime rates and an increase in quality of life. He did all this while remaining a constant presence in the community; reading to children, hosting movie nights, and leading neighborhood discussions.
Perhaps his greatest legacy is the care he showed his officers. Under his leadership, recruiting, retention, and morale soared. He led with authenticity, knew his officers by name, and always supported their goals and celebrated their achievements. Chief Wright has been a true servant leader, and his legacy of integrity and compassion will forever be embedded in the fabric of the Pasadena Police Department.
We thank him for his incredible service and wish him a wonderful retirement!
🚨 PLEASE SHARE: FOSTERS NEEDED FOR 1-WEEK OLD PUPPIES!
These Chihuahua mixed pups were found as strays and are extremely vulnerable in the shelter. Their immune systems aren’t fully developed, which puts them at serious risk.
They need bottle-feeding and care outside of the shelter, and without immediate help, we may lose them.
➡️ If you foster, we’ll provide everything you need to take care of them: formula, supplies, and support. You just give them a safe, loving space to grow stronger.
Fostering these babies could mean the difference between life and loss. Please don’t wait.

Reminder that Deer Park received multiple carbon monoxide related fire and EMS calls following hurricane Beryl due to generator use.
Generators must be used outside, in a well-ventilated area, at least 20 feet from doors, windows and vents. Exhaust should be directed away from buildings.
Generators used in garages or placed near soffit vents, doors or windows can allow carbon monoxide to accumulate inside the house. Carbon monoxide detectors should be used when running generators.
Carbon monoxide is called the silent or invisible killer because it is colorless and odorless. Signs of carbon monoxide poisoning include shortness of breath, headache, dizziness, nausea, chest pain, confusion and/or weakness.
Call 9-1-1 if you believe you or someone else has been exposed to carbon monoxide.

✨ Meet Dottie: the sweet face that could brighten anyone’s day!
Life threw her a curveball when her owner had to go in and out of the hospital, but Dottie’s spirit is still shining bright. She’s smart, playful, and full of puppy energy.
She’s mostly housetrained, gets along with other dogs (though she likes to play rough), and may bark at strangers at first but quickly warms up once she gets to know you.
Dottie’s ready for a home where she can finally relax and just be herself. But she’s on the Urgent List 🚨 and her time is running out. Could you be the one to give her the fresh start she deserves?

Shout out to these recent Pasadena Independent School District grads that landed summer internships at NASA before heading off to college! What an incredible opportunity and unforgettable experience! #PISDCTE #CTE #CTEforTheWin #NASA #internships
This career is not always easy and is certainly not for the faint of heart. The lows can be particularly challenging, and the positive moments often don’t receive the recognition they deserve. That’s why our department makes it a point to highlight the good—recognizing the everyday efforts of those who serve our community. Last week, we held an award ceremony to recognize key contributions within our agency, highlighting our Ramp program, which focuses on mental resilience and peer support, as well as the faith and guidance provided by our Chaplain Division and community outreach initiatives in Pasadena, such as the PACE program. Please join us in congratulating all of these individuals who come together every day for something much larger than themselves.
Please… hold onto me. I need just one more chance 😞.
Hi, I’m Ollie. I’m a quiet, gentle boy who’s been waiting here longer than most.
I’m scared and overwhelmed inside this shelter, but when someone steps close, I show who I really am: loving, calm, and ready to trust again.

In Loving Memory of Donald Granberry
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Pasadena Police Department Chaplain Donald Granberry.
Chaplain Granberry served as a local pastor for 35 years, beginning his preaching in 1990 and faithfully continuing his work until he was ordained in 1999 by the Assemblies of God.
From 2002 to 2014 his calling led him to Central Assembly of God Church on Crenshaw Road in Pasadena, TX where he served as the lead pastor.
While many in our department knew him through his work at local Pasadena churches, he officially joined the ranks of our Chaplain Corps in September 2017, serving our officers until his passing.
Our sincerest gratitude goes out to Chaplain Granberry for his love and commitment to our department and the entire Pasadena community. We were fortunate to have Chaplain Granberry present at our most important events and his words were always a gift of comfort, hope and strength.
He leaves behind a long legacy of service and will be greatly missed by those whose lives he touched. We extend our deepest condolences to his wife and family, as they navigate through this difficult time.
Funeral services will be held at Grace Church Houston at 14505 Gulf Freeway on Saturday, June 28th. The visitation will begin at 10:00am with services immediately following at 11:00am.
Internment will be private.

🚨 MISSING FOSTER DOG‼️
Hi all, Joe is missing from his foster home. He’s been gone for nearly a week. He’s friendly but skittish so please don’t chase. He’s most likely tired and hungry so if you see him. Sit down and entice him with food if possible.
He went missing in the Heritage Park area of Friendswood and was seen a few times around, but there’s also been sightings of a brindle dog similar to him in the Kemah area. It’s not uncommon for them to travel distances like this. Please be on the lookout in the whole entire South of Pasadena area.
You can help by posting on your Nextdoor and Ring accounts too for everyone to be on the lookout for him. These two platforms have been instrumental in getting animals reunited.
You can also comment here if you see him or join the group he’s posted in “Friendswood Paws” to comment on the original post.
Help us get Joe back home.

The Pasadena Animal Shelter urges the public not to leave animals outside its doors. This practice is not only unsafe for the animals but also illegal. Recently, several cats were abandoned outside the shelter before opening hours, highlighting the urgency of this message. The shelter emphasizes the importance of proper care and handling of animals to ensure their safety.
🚨 Felony Evading & DWI Arrest – Toll Road Pursuit 🚨
On the South Sam Houston Tollway East, Harris County Constable Pct. 2 Toll Road Deputies attempted to stop a vehicle for speeding. The driver refused to pull over, initiating a 35-mile pursuit. The chase ended when a tire deflation device was successfully deployed, causing the suspect’s vehicle to strike crash barrels. Deputies from Precinct 2, with support from Precincts 3, 7, and 8, safely took the driver into custody. The suspect, 31-year-old Thomas J. Lawniczak, was arrested and charged with Felony Evading Arrest and Driving While Intoxicated. He was booked into the Harris County Jail. Stay safe and God bless!

In the quiet hours of the night, when most people are dreaming of tacos and retirement, two suspects had a not so brilliant idea: steal a truck.
Little did they know that Pasadena Police Officers were already watching from above—quietly following their every (“calculated”) turn with our drone.
The suspects cruised through neighborhoods like they were headed to Waffle House on a Sunday morning, completely unaware that units were closing in faster than a dad joke at a BBQ.
But just as they were ready to vanish into the night—BAM!—lights, sirens, and officers approached in unison like your favorite 80’s band reunion tour!
The suspects were placed into custody for their unwaffle [unlawful] acts of motor vehicle theft and drug related offenses.
Kudos to night shift patrol & the Auto Crimes Unit for the remarkable teamwork that resulted in the apprehension of these suspects!

On Sunday, June 15th, at approximately 2:04AM, Officers were dispatched to the intersection of Spencer and Canada for a minor crash. Officers arrived and contacted one of the parties involved in the crash. That individual told Officers the second party in the crash walked away from the scene before Officers arrived. The individual said the second party appeared to be intoxicated. Officers located this person next to the Discount Tire store. The person told Officers that she had not been involved in an accident and that she was simply walking to her grandmother’s house. However, the registered owner of the second vehicle involved in the accident did return to this same individual. This person also matched the description given by the other party involved in the crash. Officers did notice slurred speech and a strong odor of alcohol on this person. Given the totality of circumstances, the individual was placed into custody for suspicion of Driving While Intoxicated. The HCDAO was contacted and the charge of Felony Driving While Intoxicated – 3rd offense was accepted.

Adoption Forms Happy Tails Update! ❤️🐱
Frodo, previously named Jenna, has made quite the impression on her new family! Check out what they had to say:
“Frodo is so sweet! She loves to nap at the foot of the bed or on the back of the couch. She gets along great with our other kitty, Bowser (she is also adopted from the Pasadena Animal Shelter in 2023!), and is beginning to come out of her shell and play! She does have one strange habit – drinking from the toilet! My family and I are so happy we adopted her and that she fits right in!”

• On Friday, June 6th, at approximately 1:36 AM, an Officer conducted a traffic stop in the 1900 block of S 146 for an observed traffic violation. Upon contacting the driver, the Officer immediately detected an odor of marijuana coming from the inside of the vehicle. The driver was shown to have a Felony warrant out of Galveston County for Unauthorized Use of a Motor Vehicle. There were two other occupants in the vehicle. They were removed from the vehicle so the Officer could conduct a probable cause search. During the search, the Officer located a black purse in the front passenger seat, and inside the purse, the Officer found a green leafy substance consistent with marijuana. The front seat passenger was taken into custody for possession of drug paraphernalia. The vehicle was released to the back seat passenger.
• On Friday, June 6th, at approximately 2:00 AM, Officers were dispatched to the 1200 block of S 16th for a vehicle in the ditch. Officers arrived and saw a white Jeep in the ditch, as described, with spinning wheels and the reverse lights illuminated. The driver and sole occupant exited the vehicle and was stumbling as he walked toward Officers. The driver had slurred speech, and he told Officers that he was at “The Moon,” where he consumed some alcoholic beverages before operating the vehicle. The driver refused to participate in Standardized Field Sobriety Tests and was subsequently taken into custody for suspicion of Driving While Intoxicated. During an inventory of the vehicle, Officers located a loaded handgun in the center console. The HCDAO was contacted, and a charge of Felony Driving While Intoxicated – 3rd offense was accepted. The HCDAO declined to take the charge of Unlawfully Carrying a Weapon.
• On Saturday, June 7th, at approximately 2:20 AM, an Officer initiated a traffic stop in the 3800 block of Bay Area for an observed traffic violation. Upon contact with the driver, the Officer detected a strong odor of alcohol coming from the driver’s breath. The Officer asked the driver to step out of the vehicle, and as he did, the Officer noticed the driver was unsteady on his feet. The driver admitted to drinking alcohol approximately one hour before being stopped. The driver declined to participate in Standardized Field Sobriety Tests and was subsequently taken into custody for suspicion of Driving While Intoxicated. The HCDAO was contacted, and the charge of Felony Driving While Intoxicated – 3rd offense was accepted.
• On Wednesday, July 11th, at approximately 2:05 AM, Officers were dispatched to 702 S 146 in reference to a physical disturbance. Officers arrived and met with the 65-year-old wheelchair bound victim, who told Officers he had been assaulted by a female who was still on the property. Officers located the female suspect, who told Officers the victim was being rude and disrespectful to her. She said she did not assault him and that she was simply trying to “wheel him out of the room”. The female said she had not met the victim before today. After speaking with the suspect, the victim told Officers a male subject took the suspect and him to the Scottish Hotel, and they all were staying in a room on the second floor. A verbal argument ensued between the female and the male subject. The male subject left the room, and the female turned her anger towards the victim. The victim said the female pulled him out of the room while he was in his wheelchair. During this process, the female hit the victim twice in the face with a closed fist. Officers did observe a swollen red mark on the victim’s face and a scratch on his left armpit. The victim also had half of his toenail ripped off with visible bleeding. The clerk at the hotel witnessed the incident live on surveillance cameras and confirmed the account given by the victim. The HCDAO was contacted, and the Felony charge of Assault against an elderly disabled individual was accepted.
• On Wednesday, June 11th, at approximately 7:50 AM, Officers located a vehicle whose owner is known to have multiple outstanding Felony warrants. The vehicle was found at 11022 Deaf Smith, and Detectives confirmed the subject was at this location. Officers and Detectives contacted the subject in the front yard of this residence and placed him into custody for the multiple Felony warrants.
This year’s Safety Fair and Hurricane Workshop was a resounding success. Hosted annually on the first Saturday in June, the event is a collaborative effort between the Southeast Regional Local Emergency Planning Committee (SERLEPC) and the Pasadena Office of Emergency Management. Offered free of charge to the public, the event underscores our ongoing commitment to community preparedness and safety.
On April 30, 2025, the Precinct 8 Street Crimes Unit executed a search warrant in the 1300 block of Cedar St., in Deer Park after a lengthy investigation regarding the sale of narcotics. Deputies located 8.62 lbs. of Marijuana, and 22 orange pills labeled AD30, believed to be Adderall, and two firearms inside the residence. The subject, 21-year-old Robert John Smith Jr., was released at the scene pending test results of the narcotics located. The results returned and found the orange pills labeled AD30 tested positive for Methamphetamine and not Adderall. An arrest warrant was issued for Mr. Smith for Possession of Controlled Substances with Intent to Distribute.
On June 9, 2025, members of the Precinct 8 Street Crimes Unit were conducting surveillance on the residence when Mr. Smith left the location. Mr. Smith was eventually stopped and arrested for his warrant. Mr. Smith was found to have approximately 1.354 ounces of Marijuana in his left front pocket. The Harris County District Attorney’s Office was contacted regarding the Marijuana found in Mr. Smith’s possession but declined charges due to having the PCS warrant. Mr. Smith was transported to JPC, where he was booked without incident.

On June 11, 2025, at approximately 1609 hours, Sgt. M. Self was dispatched to an assault call at the 16400 block of El Camino Real. Sgt. M. Self arrived on scene and met with the victim and witness. Both stated that while unloading plants from their vehicle they observed a white male, wearing a red backpack, black shirt and dark colored jeans walking through the parking lot. The victim advised while she turned her back to reach into the rear of her vehicle, the unidentified male ran behind her and struck her behind the left ear and neck area, and left shoulder blade causing her pain and discomfort. Immediately after, the suspect started running after the witness. The witness was able to run to the front of her vehicle and avoid the suspect. The victim and witness stated the male suspect then walked across the street, where they lost visual of him.
Deputies A. Bullock and S. Ahmed arrived on location and spoke to the manager who obtained security footage of the assault. Sgt. M. Self observed a male matching the description walking through the parking lot of a business, located at the 1000 block of Bay Area Blvd. Sgt. M. Self along with Deputies A. Bullock and S. Ahmed were able to make contact with the male and safely detain him. The male was identified as 26-year-old Anthony Joseph Carignan. A check of Carignan’s information showed him to have an active warrant through the Harris County Sheriff’s Office for “Criminal Mischief”. Carignan was transported back to the scene where he was positively identified.
The Harris County District Attorney’s Office was contacted, and the charge of Assault was accepted. Carignan was transported to the Harris County Joint Processing Center where he was booked without incident.

🥺 Does an old guy like me deserve a second chance?
My name is Rufus. I’m a gentle soul with thinning fur, and eyes that have seen more than most. I’ve lost some of my coat, probably allergies, and I’m heartworm positive… but treatment is available if someone is willing to fight for me.
I was once someone’s dog. I had a place. A name. Now I struggle in the shelter and listen to the younger ones leave before me. I try to stay hopeful, but each day gets a little quieter. A little colder.
They tell me I’m calm. That I’m sweet. That I still have so much love left to give. But I’m on the Urgent List 🚨 and my time is almost up…If you’re reading this, please… don’t let this be how my story ends.

🚨 Auto Theft Suspects Caught Thanks to Teamwork! 🚨
On 6/10/25 around 8:20 PM, Precinct 2 Deputies responded to a call about a vehicle theft in progress at a vacant home. A citizen reported seeing three suspects trying to steal a vehicle — the same location where a truck had been stolen the day before.
Thanks to a tip from a wrecker driver, deputies traced the tow request to an address in Galena Park. That led investigators to Justin William Boon, who was positively ID’d from surveillance footage.
Precinct 2, Houston PD, and Galena Park PD worked together to detain Boon and two others. Deputies also recovered the stolen truck from the day before on the property!
👮♂️ Boon and Jesus Lozano were charged with Burglary of a Building.
👏 Huge kudos to our deputies for their great work every step of the way.
This is what strong teamwork across agencies looks like! 💪

Ellie has gentle eyes, a heart full of love, and the sweetest face you’ll ever meet. Arthritis may slow her down, but it doesn’t stop her from soaking up affection and dreaming of a soft bed and a quiet home.
She’ll need a full veterinary work-up to help her feel her very best, along with someone patient and kind to help her settle in.
But Ellie is on the Urgent List 🚨, and time is running out. If slow strolls, warm cuddles, and soulful companionship sound like your kind of life, Ellie’s ready to meet you.

😍 What’s cuter: Arlo’s face or his ears? We can’t decide either!
This sweet pup has it all: charm, cuddles, and even a dog-friendly attitude. Arlo is friendly, loving, and full of puppy heart but somehow, he keeps getting overlooked.
Now he’s one of our longest stay dogs… and he’s landed on the Urgent List 🚨.
He’s running out of time and all he wants is a chance to be someone’s best friend. Could that someone be you?

No one came for me….💔
Not when I was rescued from that crowded house in April. Not when I arrived at the shelter, scared and silent. Not when I sat in the back of my kennel, hoping someone might stop and see me.
My name is Jeff. I’m a survivor of a hoarding case. There were too many of us, not enough space, not enough love, but it was the only life I knew.
Now I’m here. And it’s louder. Scarier. I try to be brave, but most days, I just tuck my tail and wait. I’m sweet. I’m potty trained. I just want a chance.
But I’m on the Urgent List now 🚨. Please… if you’re reading this, don’t scroll past me. I just want to know what it feels like to be loved…before it’s too late.

Hi, I’m Ranger and I tuck my tail because I’m scared 💔.
I’m a sweet boy with energy to burn and a mind that loves to work. But inside my kennel, I’m starting to break down. I pace. I bark. I don’t know what to do with myself.
But outside? I come alive. I’m smart, playful, and ready for adventure. I just need someone who sees past my stress and understands a dog like me.
But I’m on the Urgent List 🚨 and time’s running out. Please help me find a second chance, so I can be the dog I was meant to be…

Citizen Tip Leads to Safe Intervention 🚨
On June 11, 2025, Deputies with Harris County Constable Precinct #2 responded to a citizen’s report of a possible intoxicated driver. The caller observed a black truck failing to maintain a single lane while approaching the area.
Deputies quickly located the vehicle and observed several traffic violations, including failing to signal lane changes and driving on the shoulder. A traffic stop was initiated in the 8100 block of the South Sam Houston Tollway East.
The driver, identified as 42-year-old Juventino Duran, exhibited clear signs of intoxication. After conducting the Standardized Field Sobriety Test, deputies determined Mr. Duran was impaired and unfit to operate a motor vehicle safely.
During the investigation, deputies also discovered Mr. Duran was unlawfully carrying a weapon. The Harris County District Attorney’s Office accepted charges for: Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) Unlawful Carrying of a Weapon (UCW). Mr. Duran was taken into custody without incident and booked into the Harris County Jail.
👀 We extend our sincere thanks to the vigilant citizen who reported the dangerous behavior. Your awareness plays a vital role in protecting our roadways and community.

Meet today’s Foster Features: Baird & Salt! 🐾
These two are thriving in foster care — and while they’re not bonded, they’ve both made a big impression in their own unique ways.
🐶 Baird is the definition of calm and comforting.
He spends most of his day relaxing, watching the world go by from the window, or catching up on naps. He enjoys gentle affection, especially little forehead pats, and is happiest when he can be close to his person. His crate is his quiet retreat, where he’ll sometimes go to recharge when he’s feeling more introverted.
Though laid-back, Baird still enjoys playful moments with the younger dogs in the home. He’s very well-mannered around people and would be a wonderful emotional support companion. His foster is still learning about his behavior around children, but so far, he seems like a genuinely sweet and adaptable dog.
🐶 Salt, affectionately known as Sal, is a young pup with a bright spirit.
He’s doing great with other dogs, is full of energy, and is currently working on crate training and basic cues. He’s eager to learn and be part of a home where he can continue to grow. While you’re working from home, Salt is happy to quietly entertain himself nearby — whether playing with toys or curling up for a nap. He’s the kind of companion who just wants to be close.
Both Baird and Salt are available for adoption (individually) and would love to find a home where they can feel safe, loved, and part of the family.
➡️ Interested in meeting one of them? Fill out a quick form here: https://www.pasadenatx.gov/FormCenter/Animal-Adoption-and-Foster-Applications-10/Animal-Adoption-Application-66
• Mr. Baird (black dog): A174873 – 6 Years Old – Neutered – Labrador Retriever mix.

Hi, I’m Jeff… and I’m a survivor of a hoarding case 💔.
Back in April, they took me from a home with too many of us. The woman meant well… she just wanted to help. But there were too many of us, and not enough space.
Now I’m in a shelter. It’s loud. It’s scary. I’m still trying to be brave. They tell me I’m sweet and potty trained. I never asked for much, just a quiet place, a kind hand, and a little love.
But time is running out and I’m on the Urgent List 🚨. Please… if you have space in your heart, could you be the one to save me?

Silvia’s family never came back for her 💔
Silvia was adopted in late 2023. We thought it was her happy ending. But last month, she showed up as a stray, alone and confused. We tried everything to reach her adopter. No one ever answered.
Her finders say she’s sweet, gentle, and wonderful with kids. She’s potty- and kennel-trained, and she used to do well in doggy playgroups, she just needs calm companions like her.
Now Silvia sits quietly in her kennel, waiting again… but this time, time is running out. She’s on the Urgent List 🚨. Please don’t let this be how her story ends. She deserves so much more…

Evading Suspect Arrested After Foot Pursuit 🚨
In the early morning hours, Deputies with the Harris County Constable Precinct 2 Office attempted to stop a vehicle traveling 86 MPH in a 65 MPH zone. The driver refused to stop, leading to a brief vehicle pursuit. Both the driver and passenger fled on foot after the vehicle came to a stop.
Deputies were able to detain the passenger, who was later charged and booked into the Harris County Joint Processing Center for Misdemeanor Evading on foot. The passenger was identified as 19 year old Juan Sifuentes.
We want to inform the community that the investigation related to a this vehicle pursuit and foot chase is still ongoing. At this time, the driver involved has not yet been officially identified, but our deputies are actively working to confirm their identity.
🔍 There is no immediate threat to the public, and this incident was an isolated event.
We appreciate the community’s support and cooperation as we continue to gather evidence and follow up on leads.

How cute is this face? 😍
Dutchess is a sweet, medium-sized girl with so much love to give. She was recently adopted but unfortunately had to come back after a conflict with the adopter’s other dog. No one was hurt, but it was clear she’d do best as the only pet in the home.
Since her return, Dutchess has been struggling. The stress of the kennel is starting to take its toll, and we can see the worry in her eyes. She’s on the Urgent List 🚨, and her time is running short.
But Dutchess is so much more than her past. She doesn’t need perfect—just someone willing to see her, choose her, and give her a real shot. Can you be that person?

WILDLIFE INTERVENTION & LOCAL DEFENSE ASSISTS CONSTABLE’S OFFICE WITH FURY FELONS
Constable Jerry Garcia wants to take a moment to spotlight Mr. Robert with Wildlife Intervention & Local Defense (W.I.L.D). Recently Constable Garcia was contacted by an elderly female who was having severe issues with rodents destroying her residence. Literally animals were chewing through her roof and other parts of her house in order to gain access.
Having nowhere else to turn, she reached out to Constable Garcia, who truly believes in the Serving part of “To Serve and Protect.” Immediately Constable Garcia began reaching out to Community Partners when he was provided Mr. Roberts Information. Mr. Robert immediately jumped into action and began the process of removing what was now found to be a mother raccoon and several babies from the attic of this residence.
Mr. Robert truly went above and beyond on the services he provided to this residence, and not only safely and humanely relocated these burglars, but properly sealed up her residence to detour any potential returns.
Thank you W.I.L.D. for everything, your service and assistance are truly appreciated. If anyone out there is having similar issues, we highly recommend reaching out to Mr. Robert. God Bless.
