Alleged trespasser wanted by HPD caught on video nearly hitting employee with fire extinguisher

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- Houston police want to find a man accused of nearly hitting a worker with a fire extinguisher last week outside a recovery center.

According to police, the suspect trespassed onto the center's grounds on West Clay Street last Wednesday, Aug. 30, at about 2:35 p.m.

He reportedly walked into the business and asked to use the restroom. An employee recognized the suspect as a known trespasser and then asked him to leave.

That's when police say the suspect grabbed a fire extinguisher and threatened to hurt the employee with it.

The suspect is described as a white man, possibly named Dylan, who's 5 feet 9 inches to 5 feet 11 inches tall, 130 to 150 pounds, with a light complexion. He was last seen wearing a gray shirt and blue jeans.
