About a dozen investigators are responsible for looking for more than 25,000 people wanted for felonies.
HOUSTON, Texas -- Currently, there are 50,672 open arrest warrants, according to records obtained from the Harris County Sheriff's Office. About 25,292 of those are charged with felonies or the most serious of crimes. More than 700 people charged with murder have open arrest warrants and remain either on the streets or outside the criminal justice system here."It's a high number.
Her accused killer, Nathan Humphrey, was later killed by deputies who were trying to arrest him. Humphrey had five warrants out for his arrest at the time of the murder - three were for felonies. According to court records, Humphrey had a violent criminal past. He was charged with aggravated assault of a family member and burglary of a habitation for allegedly breaking into his girlfriend's home and assaulting her more than four months before the Cracker Barrel shooting.
ABC13 uncovered fewer than 10% of people with warrants were being arrested every month in 2021. While arrests are happening, there are roughly 4,000 to 6,000 new warrants every month. Other agencies like Houston Police Department can also run warrants. With limited manpower, Haberland said they focus on the most violent criminals.
"It should be a priority, I will be the first to say it, but there are not enough people," Haberland said.
