Case Number: 1407310068

The Corpus Christi Police Department assisted the United States Marshal’s Service to apprehend a fugitive on the 5000 block of Alameda Street Thursday morning. The U.S. Marshal’s Gulf Coast Fugitive and Violent Offenders Task Force saw 36-year-old John Douglas Houston (2/15/1978) in a vehicle at 10:28am and knew Houston was a fugitive and likely to evade arrest. The Marshal’s requested assistance from the Corpus Christi Police Department. Houston stopped the vehicle and ran from the vehicle on foot. A passenger also ran from the vehicle in another direction. Houston was captured and the Marshal’s Service processed Houston as a fugitive. The second person who ran was not apprehended. Houston was delivered to the city detention center.
