HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — A man is facing charges after he allegedly posted videos of himself soaking people with “high-powered” water guns.
Houston police say the Christopher Cayce arrest followed an investigation into videos that showed people being sprayed with water guns in public. Authorities charged the 34-year-old with two counts of assault causing bodily injury after identifying him as the suspect in multiple incidents.
The Houston Police Department announced the arrest on Thursday. Investigators linked the videos to a Facebook page associated with Cayce.
HPD Files Assault Charges
The Houston Police Department’s Major Offenders Division and Westside Crime Suppression Team investigated the reported incidents. Detectives identified Christopher Cayce as the suspect and filed two assault causing bodily injury charges.
Harris County court records show prosecutors filed the charges on July 2.
As of Friday morning, Cayce had posted bond. However, online jail records still listed him in custody. The charges are allegations, and Cayce remains presumed innocent unless a court finds him guilty.
Videos Show People Targeted Across Houston
Police say the videos show people being sprayed in the face or soaked with water. The incidents occurred near bus stops, on sidewalks, and where some victims were sleeping outdoors.
According to HPD, some victims have disabilities or were experiencing homelessness.
The videos appear to show incidents in Midtown and along Bissonnet Street. Investigators believe other locations may also be connected to the case.
Public Reacts to the Social Media Posts
The videos attracted thousands of views and likes on social media. Many viewers, however, criticized the behavior and described it as cruel.
Police say the incidents involved real victims, not harmless pranks. The case has also renewed discussion about creating online content that targets vulnerable people for entertainment.
Advocates for people experiencing homelessness say these incidents can make public spaces feel even less safe. They also stress the importance of treating every person with dignity and respect.
Investigation Remains Active
The Harris County court system will now handle the criminal case. Future hearings will determine the next steps.
Houston police have not said whether they expect to file additional charges. Investigators continue to review the reported incidents and the videos.
Anyone with information about similar incidents can contact the Houston Police Department or submit an anonymous tip through Crime Stoppers of Houston.
The Christopher Cayce arrest has drawn attention across Houston and sparked conversations about public safety, accountability, and the impact of social media content.
