Former Houston police captain Mark Aguirre is accused of running a man off the road and pointing a gun at his head in an attempt to prove a bogus voter fraud conspiracy. Aguirre was allegedly paid more than $250,000 by conservative activist Steve Hotze


A Harris County grand jury indicted former Houston police captain Mark Aguirre Tuesday for assault, after he was accused of running a man off the road and pointing a gun at his head in an attempt to prove a bogus voter fraud conspiracy.

Aguirre is charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and could face up to 20 years in prison.

He was arrested last December after prosecutors say he ran his SUV into the back of the truck of an air conditioning technician. Aguirre allegedly told police he believed the victim was behind a massive voter fraud scheme and that there were 750,000 fraudulent ballots in his truck.

After the victim got out of his vehicle, Aguirre allegedly aimed a pistol at his head and ordered the man to get on the ground. Two additional vehicles then pulled up, with Aguirre ordering an unidentified person to search the truck, according to previously filed court documents.

5. Law enforcement needs to trade "Professional Courtesy" with

"Held to a higher standard". Like maximum sentences for crimes.

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.
