Not the traffic stop we were expecting… but we’ll take it!🥹
Yesterday, one of our officers was conducting traffic enforcement when he spotted a little boy cruising through the neighborhood in his electric toy car while his dad walked alongside him.
Five minutes later… a routine shift took a wholesome turn.
Needless to say, it’s moments like these that make our community so special.

A very short-lived vehicle theft…
On June 15, Round Rock officers responded to a report of a vehicle stolen overnight from the 1000 block of University Boulevard.
Using license plate reader technology and solid police work, officers located the stolen vehicle about six minutes after the report was made and arrested 22-year-old Jehari Dejean Lamont Combs.
During the investigation, officers recovered a stolen firearm, and Combs admitted to multiple burglaries of vehicles, auto theft, and theft of a firearm.
He was booked into the Williamson County Jail on the following charges:
• Burglary of vehicles
• Class C theft
• Theft of a firearm
• Theft of property valued between $2,500 and $30,000
• Unlawfully carrying a weapon
The investigation also helped a neighboring agency file additional charges against Combs in a separate vehicle burglary and auto theft case.
We’re grateful to our partners at the Texas Motor Vehicle Crime Prevention Authority for awarding our department a grant to expand our license plate reader technology and strengthen our ability to solve crime in our community.
