On 10/09/13 at approximately 1958 hours Officers with the College Station Police Department were dispatched to 1300 block of Augustine Ct for a Deadly Conduct call.
It was reported to dispatch that one group of suspects had run the victim off of the road causing an accident and that they then threatened him with a handgun.
Officers were able to locate the suspect vehicle a short distance away and detain the occupants.
Through the investigation into this incident it was learned that the victim had originally planned to sell narcotics to the suspects.
They met near the intersection of Harvey Mitchell and Welsh for the exchange.
During the sale of the narcotics, two of the suspects stole the narcotics from the victim, using a handgun during the theft.
The victim then fled the scene in his vehicle, pursued by the suspects.
The suspects then attempted to block the victim in on Augustine Ct and again pointed a handgun at him.
During the victim’s attempt to flee a second time he struck a parked vehicle.
A witness had come out on his porch after hearing the accident and the victim asked him to call the police department.
