It turns out rewards really do make a difference. Just hours after authorities offered a $5k reward, Eric Latroy Brown, the UH sexual assault suspect was arrested.
Brown, who was arrested for sexual assault and then inexplicably released by police the next day due to 'error' had been on run for the last 10 days, until a report that he was spotted riding on Metro Rail.
Authorities say Brown approached a 21-year-old student, forced her into her car at UH’s Welcome Center Parking Garage, and sexually assaulted her at knifepoint. Brown was arrested later that night and then released the next day.
New Harris County DA Sean Teare said today that Brown is currently facing three felony charges.
