Florida man charged with assault of court security officer in Houston
HOUSTON / Wednesday, August 26, 2026 – A federal grand jury has returned an indictment against a 51-year-old man for assaulting a court security officer in a federal courthouse library.
Victor Graham is currently in custody and expected to appear for his arraignment in the near future.
On July 29, Graham allegedly entered the law library at the Bob Casey Federal Courthouse in Houston.
The charges allege a court security officer determined Graham was not complying with courthouse rules and instructed him to leave. At that time, Graham allegedly assaulted the officer and caused him bodily injury before authorities took him into custody.
If convicted, Graham faces up to 20 years in federal prison and a possible $250,000 maximum fine.
The Federal Protective Service conducted the investigation. Assistant U.S. Attorney Francisco J. Rodriguez is prosecuting the case.
An indictment is a formal accusation of criminal conduct, not evidence. A defendant is presumed innocent unless convicted through due process of law.
