One man is facing charges in what officials are calling a road rage attack against a Harris County work truck.
According to Constable Ted Heap's Office, the incident occurred last week around 1 p.m. in the 6300 block of Bellaire Boulevard. Officials said two Harris County workers were driving in a marked Precinct 4 work truck when a man in a silver vehicle got upset, pulled alongside them, and fired several rounds from a handgun. Their truck was struck three times.
The driver, later identified as 25-year-old Alejandro Valdez, Jr., was arrested Monday morning in the 5000 block of S. Willow Drive. "We are fortunate that these men, who were just doing their job, were not injured," said Constable Heap in a news release. "This was an extremely dangerous situation for these two county workers, as well as innocent bystanders, who could have been seriously harmed as a result of this driver's actions.
- If you're being followed or if an enraged driver points a gun at you, call 911 and provide a detailed description of the vehicle, its license plate and the driver.
