to prove a bogus voter fraud conspiracy theory

Aformer Houston police captain was indicted after he allegedly ran a truck off the road and pointed a gun at the driver's head while trying to prove a bogus voter fraud conspiracy in October 2020, prosecutors said.

Mark Aguirre was indicted by a Harris County grand jury on Tuesday for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon — a second-degree felony, Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg said in a statement.

According to prosecutors, Aguirre was arrested in December 2020 after he drove his car into the back of a truck to get the driver to stop. He is then accused of putting a handgun up to the driver's head and forcing him onto the ground.

Aguirre told police after the October 2020 incident that he had was conducting a civilian investigation into a supposed voter fraud scheme, prosecutors alleged.
