    Former Houston Police Capt. Mark Anthony Aguirre, who went to
    authorities with pre-election claims that a massive voter fraud
    scheme was underway in Harris County, was instead arrested
    himself Tuesday and charged for running a man off the road and
    pointing at gun at his head in an attempt to prove his claims.

    “He crossed the line from dirty politics to commission of a
    violent crime and we are lucky no one was killed,” Harris County
    District Attorney Kim Ogg said. “His alleged investigation was
    backward from the start – first alleging a crime had occurred
    and then trying to prove it happened.”

    Aguirre, 63, was arrested by Houston Police Tuesday and charged
    with Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon, a second-degree
    felony punishable by up to 20 years in prison.

    According to a court document describing probable cause for the
    charge, Aguirre told police shortly after the Oct. 19 incident,
    that he was part of a group of private citizens called, “Liberty
    Center,” who were conducting a civilian investigation into the
    alleged ballot scheme.

    According to Aguirre, he had been conducting surveillance on the
    victim for four days under a theory the victim was the
    mastermind of a giant fraud, and there were 750,000 fraudulent
    ballots in a truck he was driving. Instead, the victim turned
    out to be an innocent and ordinary air conditioner repairman.

    Aguirre ran his SUV into the back of the truck to get the
    technician to stop and get out, according to the document. When
    the technician got out of the truck, Aguirre, pointed a handgun
    at the technician, forced him to the ground and put his knee on
    the man’s back – an image captured on the body-worn camera of a
    police officer.

    Aguirre directed police to a parking lot nearby where another
    suspect, who has not been identified, took the truck. There were
    no ballots in the truck. It was filled with air conditioning
    parts and tools.

    Aguirre never told police that he had been paid a total of
    $266,400 by the Houston-based Liberty Center for God and
    Country, with $211,400 of that amount being deposited into his
    account the day after the incident.

    The case was investigated by the Houston Police and is being
    prosecuted by the Public Corruption Division of the Harris
    County District Attorney’s Office.

    Aguirre’s claims of election fraud were found to be baseless
    after thorough investigation by Houston Police and by the Office
    Constable Precinct 1 Alan Rosen, as part of the Harris County
    Election Security Task Force.
