Crackdown on "existing" in Spring Branch?
KTRK-13 reports that HPD has cracked down on loitering in Spring Branch:
Houston police are cracking down on loitering in the Spring Branch area.
Residents have complained of large groups drinking alcohol and even fighting in convenience store parking lots. The northwest patrol division swept that area Tuesday night. At least nine people were arrested for public intoxication and littering. Two of the men were also wanted on felony warrants out of California.
Police say minor crimes like public intoxication and loitering can lead to much bigger problems.
As Callie remarked earlier, one person's loitering is another person's "existing."
Incidentally, Houston police were apparently able to pull off this move despite the fact that Councilmember Garcia has not managed to tighten the curfew, which may come as a surprise to Chief Hurtt.
