Galveston County Precinct 4 Constable - Justin West

Today's episode of Can't Run Don't Run in Galveston County, Texas brings us a case that originated out of the League City Police Department for Felony Theft.

Illegal Alien, Guillermo Lopez-Noriega, is from Cuba. Lopez crossed illegally in Eagle Pass TX in 2021 - Remember that Cuba and Eagle Pass are about 1,170 miles apart, with over 970 miles across the Gulf of America. Lopez was released under the Biden Administration Mass Replacement Immigration Program after he was encountered by law enforcement during his illegal entry. HIs tattoos are consistent with multiple gangs and he was still allowed to enter and stay in our country. He has warrants for Theft in Harris County (Felony), League City (Felony), Lake Jackson (Misdemeanor), and Corsicana (Misdemeanor).

Through an investigation by League City Police Officers, he was taken into custody in Houston by League City Police Officers and the Constable Justin West - Galveston County Precinct 4 Office 287(g) Task Force completed an immigration status investigation on Lopez. A federal immigration detainer is in place and once Lopez finishes working his way through the Great State of Texas Judicial System, he will be returned to Cuba where he can continue to steal.

Another Episode of Can't Run, Don't Run features a case of Aggravated Sexual Assault of a 12 year old Child from 2006 in Harris County.

After entering on a visa in 2001, Ismail Conteh from Sierra Leone, he was convicted in 2006 to Aggravated Sexual Assault of a 12 year old child in Harris County. He was sentenced to 10 years of probation and then released on immigration parole after completing his probation. About 18 months ago, an immigration judge issued a final order of removal for Conteh, and Conteh stopped reporting to immigration authorities. After an investigation with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement ERO agents and Deputies from Constable Justin West - Galveston County Precinct 4, Conteh was arrested and is being prepared for deportation.
