A man accused of pointing a gun at two firefighters during a medical emergency call appeared in court for the first time on Monday.
It happened during a medical call in southwest Houston on Saturday night.
Jaime Marquez, 23, faced a judge on Monday morning. He’s charged with two counts of aggravated assault against a public servant.
His bond was set at $50,000 for each charge — $100,000 total. The judge said he has no criminal history.
The incident reportedly happened at the Ashford Buena Vista Apartments in the 6000 block of Bissonnet Street around 11 p.m. Saturday.
Firefighters initially went into Marquez’s apartment at the complex for a medical emergency. Police said Marquez had just had a seizure and was disoriented.
