HOUSTON – The man accused of trying to have a Houston police officer killed appeared in court overnight.
According to the Houston Police Department, Mohammed Mohamed agreed to pay a hit man $2,000 to kill the officer.
He is now being held on a $1 million bond. He does not have a criminal record but police were urging the magistrate to consider Mohamed’s significant ties to Egypt when setting his bond.

Police say Mohamed’s shipping company was racking up code violations in the past several months.
One particular HPD officer was called to the company several times to issue the citations.
Police say that is when Mohamed began looking for a hit man, hoping that his problem would go away.
Mohamed believed the officer was interfering with his business operations by issuing the tickets and was preventing his business from getting up to code, said HPD.
So he met with the hit man, who was actually an undercover officer, multiple times and the two spoke mostly in Arabic.
