Location: Nile Drive / South Padre Island Drive
Offense: Possession of a Controlled Substance      (HS 481.115    Third Degree Felony)
Case Number: 1409240008
A Corpus Christi Police Officer was on patrol in the area of Nile Dr. and S. Padre Island Dr. when he observed a 1999 Mitsubishi Mirage four door with a defective head light. The officer stopped the car and found a 40 year old female driver who had no driver’s license or liability insurance. Also in the car was a 28 year old male passenger.  Since the female did not have liability insurance on her vehicle, the officer made the decision to impound it and arrest the driver for driving with a suspended license.  During the inventory for impound, the officer found two syringes with a clear liquid substance in them in the glove compartment.  He also found a container with twelve smaller plastic bags with a powdery brown substance in them. The brown powdery substance was 7.2 grams of heroin, and the clear liquid substance was determined to be 2.2 grams of methamphetamines.  The officers arrested the female driver Rose Guillen (01/25/1974) and the male passenger Richard Villarreal (10/21/1985) for two counts each of possession of a controlled substance, a third degree felony.
