<p>Colony Ridge developer William “Trey” Harris has been arrested for the sixth time and now faces charges for driving under the influence and for the unlicensed carrying of a weapon.</p>
<p>The arrest is the latest run-in with the law for Harris, one of the individuals behind the sprawling 60-square mile development just north of Houston that systematically attracts illegal aliens.</p>
<p>Harris, who developed Colony Ridge with his brother, John, was arrested by the Huntsville Police Department on February 23rd for the two charges before being let out of jail two days later, Walker County <a href="https://portal-txwalker.tylertech.cloud/Walker/JailingSearch.aspx?ID=400">jail records</a> show.</p>
<p>The Colony Ridge developer has been arrested on five other occasions since November 2023, including for public intoxication and driving under the influence. After one of his drunk driving charges, when he was found to have a blood alcohol content of 0.15, Harris was sentenced to serve 45 days in jail.</p>
<p>But Harris was let out after serving just half his sentence, with a <a href="https://houstonlanding.org/a-texas-sheriff-cut-a-colony-ridge-developers-jail-term-others-havent-been-so-fortunate/">local outlet</a> calling him “the beneficiary of uncommon treatment given by longtime Walker County Sheriff Clint McRae.”</p>
<p>That uncommon treatment came after Harris, a big political donor, gave McRae $5,000 during the last campaign cycle, making the Colony Ridge developer his biggest donor during the cycle, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/colony-ridge-developer-was-biggest-donor-to-sheriff-who-let-him-out-of-jail-early">The Daily Wire reported</a>.</p>
<p>McRae <a href="https://houstonlanding.org/a-texas-sheriff-cut-a-colony-ridge-developers-jail-term-others-havent-been-so-fortunate/#:~:text=A%20Houston%20Landing%20investigation%20found,full%20sentences%20in%20recent%20months.">told local media</a> at the time that he had “absolutely no shame” about his decision and “would do it exactly the same way if the situation were to occur again.”</p>
<p>Harris’ development has come under scrutiny recently, with the Texas Department of Public Safety and the Department of Homeland Security carrying out a joint operation that <a href="https://x.com/ICEgov/status/1894485344923652152">resulted</a> in the arrest of 118 illegal aliens, including those wanted for homicide, manslaughter, child sexual abuse, drugs and weapons charges, and other crimes.</p>
<p>The joint operation came just days after Colony Ridge, working in partnership with the Rascon Media Group, attempted to sanitize the development&#8217;s reputation in a now-deleted video posted to YouTube. Colony Ridge CEO John Harris claimed that crime was not a problem at the development and called concerns that the cartel could be active in the area &#8220;laughable.&#8221;</p>

<p>Three previously deported illegal aliens were arrested just days later, with one of the men admitting to having nearly 350 pounds of methamphetamine stashed in a trailer on a Colony Ridge property. One of the three illegal aliens is believed to be connected to the Cartel Jalisco New Generation, a Mexican cartel that has been named a foreign terror organization, The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/exclusive-illegal-alien-captured-at-colony-ridge-believed-to-be-tied-to-mexican-drug-cartel">exclusively reported</a>.</p>
<p>A previously deported member of MS-13 was also <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/previously-deported-ms-13-member-leads-authorities-on-manhunt-in-colony-ridge">captured</a> by authorities after he led them on a seven-hour manhunt. The illegal alien is believed to have stabbed and killed a man inside Colony Ridge.</p>
<p>The development could also be in legal trouble. It currently faces an <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/environmental-protection-agency-confirms-active-investigation-into-colony-ridge">investigation</a> from the Environmental Protection Agency, and lawsuits from both the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ag-paxton-literally-every-sale-by-colony-ridge-could-be-in-violation-of-consumer-protection-law">Texas Attorney General</a> and the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-doj-sues-colony-ridge-for-bait-and-switch-sales-predatory-financing">Department of Justice</a> and Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.</p>
