to prove a bogus voter fraud conspiracy theory

Aformer Houston police captain was indicted after he allegedly ran a truck off the road and pointed a gun at the driver's head while trying to prove a bogus voter fraud conspiracy in October 2020, prosecutors said.

Mark Aguirre was indicted by a Harris County grand jury on Tuesday for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon — a second-degree felony, Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg said in a statement.

According to prosecutors, Aguirre was arrested in December 2020 after he drove his car into the back of a truck to get the driver to stop. He is then accused of putting a handgun up to the driver's head and forcing him onto the ground.

Aguirre told police after the October 2020 incident that he had was conducting a civilian investigation into a supposed voter fraud scheme, prosecutors alleged.

On Oct. 19, Aguirre allegedly ran his SUV into the back of the truck to get Zuniga to stop and get out.
When Zuniga got out of the truck, Aguirre pointed a handgun at him, forced him to the ground and put his knee on his back until police came, the court document said.

At the time of the alleged crime, Aguirre was working as a contract investigator for conservative activist Steven Hotze. Hotze has made a name for himself for alleging widespread voter fraud in Harris County, even when none has been found.

Last fall, Hotze used the "Liberty Center" funds to hire around 20 private investigators and other workers to investigate incidents of alleged fraud.

"We paid our investigators closer to $300,000," said Hotze during an hour long news conference at the time. Hotze and his attorney, Jared Woodfill, spent most of the time rehashing their allegations of massive voter fraud.
