I would like thank the Northwest Volunteer Fire Department for supporting our SWAT operation yesterday by providing tents, water and traffic control. π₯΅π₯π¦π¦
The scene started as a welfare check and the subject ended up pointing a deadline weapon at a fireman. Fireman put their lives on the line daily and should not have to worry about bad guys too! Our hat is off to you guys! πΊπΈ

@HCSOSWAT assisted @Pct1Constable with a barricaded subject near the 2600 block of Hawthorn Mill Ln in North Harris County. The suspect had an open felony warrant and threatened a firefighter with a deadly weapon. After chemical munitions were unsuccessful, SWAT entered the home and located the suspect who was still armed. K9 TREX made contact with him and he was taken into custody. The suspect sustained minor injuries and everyone went home safe! The suspect will face additional felony charges. #HouNews
