Tomball teen accused of impersonating officer

  TOMBALL, TX (KTRK) -- A Tomball teen is accused of impersonating a police officer after he allegedly pulled over a teenage driver.

On Sunday, a woman told Tomball police that she was riding in a car with her 16-year-old son driving when a vehicle got behind them flashing blue and red lights. She and her son believe they were being pulled over by a police officer, and stopped on the side of the road.

Once they pulled over, the woman says the vehicle turned off the flashing lights and drove away. She wrote down the license plate number and called police.

Police say they found the home of the registered owner, and the homeowner told officers that her son, Clayton Davis Kelly, was driving the truck at the time.

Court documents state Kelly, 17, reportedly admitted to pulling various people over on traffic stops throughout Harris County prior to June 3. He also led police to the location where he hid the police lights, according to court documents.

Bail has been set at $5,000 for the felony charge of impersonating a public servant.

Tomball requests voluntary water conservation

  TOMBALL, TX (KTRK) -- Due to extreme drought conditions, the Tomball Public Works Department is asking all water customers to conserve water.

While the city's public water system is operating in good condition, officials are concerned that a high water demand caused by excessive landscape and lawn irrigation during extreme drought conditions could cause unnecessary strain on the water system, forcing mandatory water restrictions.

In order to conserve the available water supply, water customers are requested to voluntarily limit the irrigation of landscaped areas to Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays for customers with a street address ending in an even number, and Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays for water customers with a street address ending in an odd number, and to water only between the hours of midnight and 10am and 8pm to midnight on designated watering days.

If you have any questions regarding water conservation, you can call the Tomball Public Works Department at 281-290-1425.
