Disgraced former Houston cop indicted over ‘bogus’ 2020 voter fraud assault – By Jay R. Jordan (Houston Chronicle) / December 14, 2021
This is the second time Mark Aguirre, 64, has been indicted by a grand jury over botched investigations
A former Houston police captain now indicted over a violent and “bogus” voter fraud investigation is no stranger to the wrong side of the law.
A grand jury indicted Mark Aguirre on a charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon Tuesday, more than a year after he allegedly ran an air conditioning technician off the road and held the man at gunpoint while trying to uncover a voter fraud scheme in the aftermath of the 2020 presidential election. Aguirre, 64, faces up to 20 years in prison if he’s convicted.
Aguirre was being paid more than $200,000 as a private investigator for a Houston group called Liberty Center when the attack occurred Oct. 19, 2020, according to the Harris County District Attorney’s Office. Aguirre and company were convinced of a massive ballot fraud scheme in Harris County, and the former cop had been tailing the driver of a repair van for days before confronting him on an unspecified Houston street.
