18 year old arrested for stealing packages in a Houston area suburb; bond set for $100

A woman has been arrested for stealing packages from a home in the Atascocita Forest subdivision in Humble, TX, a suburb of Houston. According to court documents, Constables with Harris County Precinct 4 arrested Aryanna Chanae Jones (18) on November 30, 2022 around 5 p.m. She was booked into Harris County Jail and now is facing a misdemeanor charge stemming from her mail theft. It appears she does not have any prior charges in Harris County and her bond has been set at $100. Jones remains in jail at the time of this writing, but with the low bond amount, it is expected she will be out soon. Hopefully she refrains from being a porch pirate.

Caught on Camera: Driver collides with deer on Will Clayton Pkwy in northeast Harris County

In typical deer fashion, a deer decided to cross a busy street as soon as cars were coming and it was caught on camera, shown below (It is not too gory, but viewer discretion is advised). Spoiler Alert: It did not end well for the deer. https://www.youtube.com/embed/dnSgfzmvcIU The incident happened around 11:43 a.m. on November 1, 2022. Deviating from Houston Stringer's usual course of trying to not be part of the story, this footage was captured on my dashcam. While I do not recommend the dashcam I bought (see the "0 mph"?), I do highly recommend that every driver purchases a dashcam, for a variety of reasons. In this case, colliding with a deer in what for all intents and purposes is in a city, may have your insurance company asking questions. A dashcam answers these very eas...
