He said officers have solid leads and good suspects they are working on, but no arrest has been made and no official charges have been filed at this time. King recommends everyone in the area who had their tires slashed contact the police department and file a report.

The more tires the police know about, the higher the charges that can be filed. According to the Texas penal code, if the dollar amount of the damages done is high enough, the charges could be changed from misdemeanor charges to state jail felony or even higher.
