Mayor White rides in police car, says crime will end
KTRK-13 reports that Mayor White wanted to get up close and personal with Houston's crime problem:
The shooting death of an evacuee living in a motel is exactly the kind of crime Mayor Bill White and Houston police are working to stop.
The mayor rode along with officers Saturday night in the city's hot spots in southwest and west Houston. Crime is on the rise, specifically around large apartment complexes.
The mayor says several people who lived a life of crime in Louisiana, are now calling Houston home and causing problems. He says that's going to stop.
HPD has increased patrols in the area and the officers are on an overtime program.
MS-13 was here before Louisiana criminals made their way to Houston. It's been an ongoing problem, Mayor White.
