A homeless man with a lengthy criminal record is in custody following a frightening incident near Aldine High School in Houston, Texas. Court documents say Ted Fleming, 41, allegedly kidnapped a student after injecting him with an unknown substance on October 1. Fleming faces charges of kidnapping and failing to register as a sex offender.
According to court filings, the student was walking near the school when Fleming grabbed him and administered the injection. Staff at the high school noticed the student stumbling across the street from the campus and captured video showing him being pulled by the suspect. Aldine ISD police responded quickly, finding the student unconscious and unresponsive. Officers revived him with Narcan and CPR, though he reportedly passed out again in the ambulance en route to the hospital. Fleming was located nearby and arrested.
Victim advocate Andy Kahan called the case unusually disturbing, noting it is rare for a teenager to be injected during an attempted abduction. Fleming’s criminal history stretches back to 2014, with at least 38 prior arrests for offenses including deadly conduct, indecent exposure, trespassing, and terrorist threats. Despite this record, he had never served time in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.
During his first court appearance, the prosecutor requested a $250,000 bond citing public safety concerns, while Fleming’s public defender asked for $17,000. The judge set bond at $150,000.
In response to the incident, Aldine ISD said it has increased patrols around the school. The district emphasized student safety as a top priority and confirmed the suspect now faces charges for kidnapping, failing to register as a sex offender, and entering school grounds without permission.
