TV Tip leads to drug arrest.


EAST MONTGOMERY COUNTY - An alert citizen tipped off the office of Montgomery County Pct. 4 Constable Rowdy Hayden after recognizing a fugitive featured on a Houston television station. The information led to four arrests, including the suspect at a home on Fostoria Road west of US 59.

KPRC, Channel 2 in Houston airs a “Wheel of Justice” segment during their newscast, which shows a fugitive’s photograph and provides details of their alleged crime, along with information about reporting their whereabouts.

A 15-year-old who was also present was cited for possession of drug paraphernalia and will appear before Pct. 4 Justice of the Peace James Metts.

Sustaita was also charged with hindering apprehension or prosecution of a known felon and multiple JP4 warrants, including no driver’s license; three warrants for failure to appear; and possession of drug paraphernalia.
