Precinct 4 constable deputies conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle in the 16000 block of Pebble Bend Drive.

Authorities said the driver, identified as 39-year-old Jesse Williams, displayed signs of intoxication. He refused to perform standardized field sobriety tests and was detained, Herman said. Investigators said he later provided a breath sample with blood alcohol content levels of 0.139 and 0.140.

The passenger in the vehicle, identified as Tillis, identified herself as a police officer in an attempt to “alter the course of the investigation,” Herman said.

Both suspects were arrested and booked into the Harris County Jail.
