A Harris County Deputy Constable was targeted in an unprovoked ambush assault inside the Galleria by a “violent career criminal”.
Surveillance video shows the suspect trying to reach for the officer’s gun and possible murder him with it.
Fortunately, an HPD officer was nearby and able to help the constable gain control of the situation.
The attacker, identified as Jetavious Okwonna, was arrested and is charged with assaulting a peace officer.
Fox 26 reports, “according to court documents, the 24-year-old has a history of targeting law enforcement. In 2017, Okwonna was arrested for kicking a Harris County deputy, a felony. In addition, we’re told Okwonna also was previously charged for injuring an officer in Travis County.”
