It’s crucial that you’re well aware of your legal options and what needs to done to mitigate it.
In League City, police arrested the stepson of a man who was fatally shot after he aggressively wielded a samurai sword as officers were serving a search warrant.
The 20-year old man was arrested on two state felony charges of possession of more than 4 ounces of marijuana and possession of a controlled substance. Both charges were enhanced to a 3rd-degree felony due to the offenses occurring in a Drug-Free Zone near a school.
The man was arrested after police officers went to his around 5 a.m. to execute a search warrant for narcotics and weapons.
During the investigation, police detectives observed “numerous hand to hand narcotics transactions” taking place in the front yard of the residence. Multiple suspects were arrested as they left the residence after making purchases of illegal drugs and illegal firearms.
As the officers were searching the home, one officer entered a bedroom to find the man’s stepfather wielding a samurai sword “in an aggressive posture.” Police officers fired a “bean bag”, or flexible baton round at the stepfather, who would not stand down. Police then fired several shots from his rifle, killing the man at the scene.
