Mayor Duke W. Coon released a statement about the arrests that occurred at a rally in downtown Conroe addressing immigration enforcement. In the statement, he assured people that the city is prioritizing public safety above all else.
At approximately 5:30 PM, the rally, which had been planned as a peaceful protest, turned violent when a group of demonstrators from Houston and Harris County grew hostile and attacked a police officer from Conroe. Five people were arrested as a consequence of the quick intervention of law authorities.
A joint response combining the Conroe Police Department, Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office, Texas Department of Public Safety, and local constable departments successfully restored order and dispersed the instigators.
Mayor Coon praised the work of law enforcement, saying, "Our officers did an outstanding job managing this situation." Our city is secure. If you are someone who wants to create disorder and attack our officers, your actions will not be accepted, and you will be taken into custody.
The people that were arrested were taken to the Montgomery County Jail. In order to maintain public safety and prevent more disruptions, officials are continuing to keep an eye on community gatherings.
