Update on Houston Men Against Family Violence Warrant
Round-Up
August 24, 2005 -- The Houston
Police Department, in cooperation with the Harris County Sheriff's
Office and other partner agencies, is continuing to sweep the
Houston area as part of an initiative that began on the morning
of August 23rd to locate and arrest more than 300 suspects wanted
for child abuse, family violence, and failure to register as sex
offenders.
The initiative, part of the Houston Men Against
Family Violence Campaign, will continue until an attempt is made
to serve each and every outstanding warrant. The updated numbers
are as follows: 99 total arrests, which include 36 felonies. Since
the initiative began, HPD officers have attempted to serve 138
of the more than 300 warrants.
The most recent arrests include that of a 28-year-old
male suspect, John Eaglin, (b/m, 3-6-77). Eaglin, in defiance
of a protective order, surprised the victim and assaulted her
in front of her daughter. The suspect carried a firearm and also
terrorized the victim via phone by threatening to kill her numerous
times. He surrendered to HPD SWAT officers. Also, an arrest was
made of a suspect, Daniel Cisneros (H/m, 8-16-84), who seriously
injured a woman by beating her with his fist, choking her with
a belt, and tying up her legs after she refused to let him take
her child.
