Texas Man Arrested for Trespassing at Synagogues Across Houston

A man was arrested on March 22 for criminal trespass at Houston Congregation for Reform Judaism on March 19.

Tyse Hem was arrested following several attempts to enter HCRJ after being asked to leave.

Hem is known to have approached multiple Houston-area synagogues, including Congregations Beth Israel and Emanu El, Temple Sinai, Chabad of The Woodlands, and Chabad of Uptown, as well as the Evelyn Rubenstein JCC.

The Secure Community Network (SCN) shared a “Be-on-the-Lookout” (BOLO) alert featuring identifying information and photos for Hem, who has an established criminal record and a history of violence.
