Corpus Christi Police responded to a hit and run crash at the Stripes Store located at 5301 S. Staple Street.

The driver of the fleeing truck continued down Curtis Clark Drive. While traveling at a high rate of speed down the street, the truck left the roadway and traveled into the front yard of 5329 Curtis Clark Drive striking a wooden fence. This did nearly $1000 in damage to the property.

The officer stopped the truck and as he was walking up to contact the driver,  he  intentionally rammed his pickup into the police unit parked behind him. The officer was able to grab the driver and pull him out of his vehicle and take him into custody.

After an investigation it was determined that the driver was intoxicated. Rodolfo Ramirez (01/26/1966) was arrested for driving while intoxicated.
