HOUSTON (KTRK) -- Charges have been filed against a man who stopped traffic on a busy freeway for a marriage proposal.
The proposal happened on the North Freeway near downtown Houston on Sunday. Eyewitness News learned Tuesday that Harris County District Attorney's Office is charging Vidal Valladares, 24, with obstruction of highway, a class b misdemeanor.
We spoke with the couple on Tuesday, as Valladares said he was going downtown to answer to the charges.
"I'm feeling bad, and of course," said Valladares. "I'm wanting to apologize to everyone if I caused any problems. That wasn't my intention in the beginning. I just wanted to do something different."
"He just proposed . It's not like he did it, I don't know,' said Valladares' fiance, Michelle Wycoff. "It's hard and knowing the fact; We find it scary, you know. And we're really sorry."
Both Valladares and Wycoff say they were surprised about the charges. Valladares said he just wanted to do something different. He says it knows it was crazy and dangerous, but he's in love and it was worth it.

Unlikely to get time for misdemeanor - probably a big fat fine though.

He should have claimed it was a Black Lives Matter protest and the cops would have stopped traffic for him.

Self centered creep. What if someone had been driving an injured or sick family member to the hospital?

But it’s okay if BlackLivesMatter does it.

Calculate every minute of delay he caused other people and make him serve that time in jail.

Shitting down a major Hi way for something this stupid deserves a fat fine. Thousands are trying to get to work, school, emergencies and appointments. They very well likely cost someone their job. Dumb bunnies

Houston freeways are scary and dangerous enough without stopping and getting out of your car in the middle of traffic..

Make sure that it’s in man-minutes, that is, if he stopped 10,000 people for 10 minutes, he gets 100,000 minutes in jail. :-)

Did they know that he’s Hispanic; that is, after all, a preferred constituency.
Time for a jailhouse wedding!
DANG!

Well, the real problem is that the lanes weren't WIDE enough.

She must be giving him really good sex, if he's willing to shut a whole freeway down.
Glad I'm not the father of the bride, the groom must be one loco hombre.
