West University Place officers were dispatched to a delayed report of forgery at a local bank. Through the initial investigation, officers learned that a suspect had successfully cashed multiple fraudulent cash bonds, resulting in a loss of more than $31,000.

As the investigation progressed, detectives identified the suspect as Christopher Johnson and developed evidence linking him to the offense. The case was presented to the Harris County District Attorney’s Office, which accepted a charge of Forgery against Johnson.

Further investigation revealed that Johnson was no stranger to law enforcement. He has a history of fraud-related offenses, was on probation for similar crimes at the time of the offense and had outstanding warrants for Fraud.

Working in partnership with the Houston Police Department and the Texas Department of Public Safety, the West University Place Police Department participated in a coordinated warrant operation to locate and arrest Johnson. The operation was successful, and Johnson is now in custody.

This case highlights the value of thorough investigative work and strong partnerships between law enforcement agencies in holding repeat offenders accountable.

As summer break begins for many students, the West U Police Department reminds drivers to stay alert for children who may be playing or riding bicycles in the city, streets, and near parks.

-Slow down and remain attentive while driving
-Be especially cautious in residential areas and near parks
-Expect the unexpected; children may cross streets unexpectedly or enter roadways suddenly while playing or riding
-Always check carefully for children when backing out of driveways or parking spaces

Extra awareness from drivers helps keep everyone safer during the summer months.

The West University Place Police Department has seen an increase in e-bikes, electric scooters, and other similar devices throughout the city. We’ve also heard the community’s feedback and safety concerns regarding how and where these vehicles are being operated.

We want to help clarify the differences between the various types of vehicles, what is legal and illegal to operate on public streets, and the traffic laws that apply so everyone can ride safely and responsibly.

The graphic below helps explain:
• E-bike classifications and legal operation
• Rules regarding e-scooters
• Vehicles that are not street legal, including dirt bikes, mini bikes, mini motorcycles, and pocket motorcycles

The Police Department will continue monitoring these issues and taking enforcement action when violations are observed. If you see unsafe or illegal operation, report it to the Police Department so officers can respond appropriately.

Parents are encouraged to review the information with their riders and help make sure they understand traffic laws and where these vehicles can legally operate.
