DEL MAR BURGLARY ARRESTS

In September and October of 2026, the Del Mar neighborhood experienced an increase of home burglaries throughout the area. The information obtained by Patrol Officers, coupled with the investigative experience of the Corpus Christi Police Department Property Crimes Division, enabled us to stop the significant increase in home burglaries within the area.


Feeman Teeters (48) was arrested on 3 counts of Burglary of a Habitation. Through continued investigative efforts, Detectives were able to further link Teeters on two additional burglaries for which Detectives obtained additional warrants. In both cases, Teeters pawned items belonging to the victims the same day they reported the burglary. Teeter is still in the Nueces County Jail as of November 3.

Jose Collazo (38) was also arrested for Burglary of a Habitation. Last week an additional burglary was investigated where Collazo is seen in security footage entering the victim’s home. The Detective assigned to the case was able to secure an additional warrant for Collazo, who was taken into custody on October 31st. As of this morning, November 3, Jose is still in the Nueces County jail.

With the combined effort of the Patrol Division and the Criminal Investigation Division, the increase of home burglaries was halted.

Robstown resident sentenced after fleeing from police

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas – A 50-year-old man has been ordered to prison for his role in the distribution of cocaine.

Michael Casas pleaded guilty May 27.

U.S. District Judge David S. Morales has now ordered Casas to serve 60 months in federal prison followed by four years of supervised release.

The investigation revealed Casas was planning to sell two kilograms of cocaine on March 17, 2026. On that date, a Corpus Christi Police Department K9 Unit attempted to conduct a traffic stop on his vehicle. Casas initially pulled over but accelerated as the officer approached, leading them in a pursuit on Highway 44 in Corpus Christi.

During that time, authorities observed Casas throw a brick‑shaped package from the vehicle. He eventually stopped and surrendered.

Law enforcement recovered the package and found it to contain two kilograms of cocaine.

The Drug Enforcement Administration conducted the investigation with assistance from the Corpus Christi Police Department. Assistant U.S. Attorney Joseph Griffith prosecuted the case.

Corpus Christi Police Department Clarifies Use of Automated License Plate Recognition Systems Following City Council Briefing

CORPUS CHRISTI, TX — Ahead of a scheduled briefing to the Corpus Christi City Council this morning by Police Chief Mike Markle, the Corpus Christi Police Department (CCPD) has issued a clarification regarding the department’s stance on automated license plate recognition technology to address community concerns surrounding Flock camera systems.

Chief Markle will address Council members to detail the specific technologies used by local law enforcement, emphasizing the distinction between private surveillance hardware located within city limits and the official systems operated by CCPD.

The Corpus Christi Police Department does not own, operate, access, or utilize data collected by Flock camera systems. While several Flock cameras are installed throughout Corpus Christi, they are independently owned and operated by private businesses, organizations, and other non-city entities.

CCPD does not receive or access data collected by privately operated Flock networks.

CCPD utilizes a separate, dedicated license plate recognition system known as Vigilant. The Vigilant system captures only a vehicle’s license plate number along with the specific date and time it passes a camera. It does not collect personal identifying information, such as the registered owner’s name, personal history, or driving records.

“The Corpus Christi Police Department understands the community’s concerns surrounding data collection, storage, and privacy,” Police Chief Mike Markle said. “We appreciate the opportunity to discuss our technology, its capabilities, and our strict operational policies directly with the City Council and the public.”

CCPD remains committed to transparency and maintaining public trust while utilizing modern technology to support public safety across Corpus Christi.
