Background: Dean Dietsch (KTRK). Inset: Dietsch during his December 2023 arrest by Harris County (Tex.) Sheriff’s Office deputies (Harris County Sheriff’s Office via KTRK).
A man in Texas spent days in jail and thousands of dollars to fight an arrest that he says should never have happened in the first place.
On Dec. 17, 2023, deputies with the Harris County Sheriff’s Office came to the home of Dean Dietsch, who says he was inside sleeping at the time. After hearing a ruckus outside, he said he thought he was being robbed.
“They had their guns out and are hiding behind a tree,” he told Houston ABC affiliate KTRK. “I’m like, ‘Oh, my God. They want to come get me for some reason.’”
