It Pays to Listen During Briefings

The Harris County (Texas) Precinct 4 Constable’s Office was conducting a prostitution sting when a man approached an undercover deputy and allegedly solicited sex from her. He was quickly arrested. “Following his identification, the administration was notified and responded to the arrest location,” the agency said in a statement. “Emmanuel Augustine was placed on immediate administrative suspension without pay pending an investigation into the incident.” Augustine, 29, has been a patrol deputy with the Harris County (Texas) Precinct 4 Constable’s Office for five years. He was not on duty when arrested, but officers note he was wearing his uniform pants. Augustine faces up to 180 days in jail, up to a $2,000 fine, and the possible loss of his job. (RC/KTRK Houston) ...Hey, cut him some slack! He was one of the few guys busted that night wearing pants!
