Over the last eight years, Chimene Onyeri has been arrested more than a half-dozen times, but most of the charges against him have not stuck.
In 2007, he was arrested for unlawful carrying of a weapon, trespassing and evading detention. One year later, it was murder and aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon.
All those charges were either dismissed, or he was found not guilty.
Since 2012, Onyeri has been arrested three times for fraud.
It was that first fraud charge that sent him into Judge Julie Kocurek's courtroom.
Onyeri was arrested after the car he was riding in was pulled over for speeding in Travis County.
Inside his vehicle, officers found 17 fraudulent gift cards, which had been re-programmed with stolen credit card information.
Onyeri pled guilty to fraud charges, and Judge Kocurek sentenced him to three years probation.
Less than nine months later, Onyeri was under arrest again for additional fraud charges - this time in Sugar Land, just south of Houston.
He bonded out, but wound up right back in prison in Louisiana back in June of this year.
Then in August, Kocurek revoked his probation and ordered his arrest.
Onyeri was supposed to appear in her courtroom in Decemeber, facing 20 years in prison.
On Friday, Kocurek was shot at outside her West Austin home.
With all these cases to his name, neither are tied to the reason why Onyeri was arrested Monday night in Houston.
Onyeri was charged in an unrelated murder charge for a deadly shooting that happened in Harris County this past May.
His first court appearance for that shooting is scheduled for Nov. 12 in Houston.
Meanwhile, Austin Police Chief Art Acevedo says they are working closely with Houston police while they work to establish an affirmative link between Onyeri and the Kocurek shooting investigation.
