A trucker was arrested in northwest Harris County after deputies said he shot a man vandalizing his big rig.
Saintlouis told deputies he was sleeping in his 18-wheeler outside of his apartment complex on West Little York and Langham Way Tuesday night after a rash of vandalism.
Just after 10 p.m., Saintlouis heard a noise outside of the rig. He got up and looked outside. The trucker told police he saw a man slash his tires with a knife.
Despite the apparent vandalism, deputies said the district attorney's office has no plans to press charges against the vandal because Saintlouis was not in fear of his life and should not have fired his gun.
