Deputies Arrest Sexual Assault Suspect.

On Tuesday, September 8, 2020, members of the west District 4 crime reduction unit were assisting Harris County Precinct 5 deputy constables in locating a male suspect who had assaulted a women and sexually assaulted another woman at MUD Park # 257, in the 16500 block of Smithstone drive in west Harris County.

The male, now identified as Jeremiah Williams (12\08\93), after running from the park, was located by deputies in the 6300 block of Bowtrail drive.

Williams was ordered to stop numerous times from deputies, but continued to run from them.

Deputies were able to locate him running along a bayou embankment, and taken into custody.

The first complainant, a 45-year-old woman, told deputies she was running along the park trail at around 7:45pm., when she felt a pain on the back of her head, knocking her down to the pavement.
Williams immediately began to punch her in the face and body.

He then sexually assaulted her.

A second female complainant, 27, was jogging in the park around 8:00pm., when Williams ran up behind her and tackled her to the ground.

Williams began to place his hand over her mouth and nose. The complainant began to kick and fight back to keep him off her.

He then ran away in an unknown direction.

Harris County District Attorney’s accepted the charged of sexual assault, assault and felony evading on Williams.

If anyone has any other information on Williams is urged to call the HCSO 713-221-6000.
