Corpus Christi Police Property Crimes Detectives would like help from the public to identify and locate a woman who stole money from a wallet at a store in Calallen on December 13, 2015.

A 59-year-old woman reported her wallet lost to Corpus Christi Police at about 5pm on Sunday, December 13, 2015.

The 59-year-old woman told Officers she returned to the counter and the wallet was gone and the clerk denied having seen the wallet.

Officers viewed store surveillance video which showed a woman who was in line behind the 59-year-old woman pick up the wallet, leave the store with the wallet, but then returned to the same check out counter to return the wallet. When the 59-year-old woman was provided the wallet, her cash was gone from the wallet.

The woman who took the wallet is described as an adult woman with medium brown skin, and she wore a pink long sleeve “Browning” brand sweatshirt, dark pants and tennis shoes. The video shows the woman as she goes through the wallet before she returned the wallet with no cash. The woman then left in a silver four door passenger car with missing hubcaps on the right front and right rear tires of the vehicle.

Officers Arrest 2 For Firing Guns On New Years Eve

Corpus Christi Police made two separate arrests for people celebrating the arrival of the New Year by firing a gun into the air.

At about 11:25 PM Officers responded to a home in the 11200 block of Willowood Creek Drive after reports came in that a man was firing a .12 gauge shotgun into the air. When Officers arrived several witnesses told them that they saw a man come out of his home and fire shots from a shotgun into the air.

Officers contacted the homeowner, Justin Weldy (03/19/1987), and arrested him for discharging a firearm in the city, a Class A misdemeanor. He was additionally charged with possession of marijuana, a Class B misdemeanor, when the illegal substance was found in a pocket of his shorts.

The shotgun was tagged as evidence.

 

Just after midnight, Corpus Christi Police responded to a home in the 700 block of Eleanor Street after a man was seen in the driveway of his home firing a handgun into the air.

Officers arrived and found Robert Obregon (12/16/1986) in possession of a .9 millimeter pistol and 11 shell casing along the driveway of his home. He was arrested for discharging a firearm in the city, a Class A misdemeanor, and his handgun was recovered as evidence.

 

A 43 year old man was lucky he was not seriously injured when a shot went through his home and struck him in the torso.

Corpus Christi Police responded to the home, located in the 4200 block of Easy Street just before 9:30 PM, and when Officers arrived they were told that a bullet came through the kitchen window and hit the homeowner who was sitting inside in the stomach. Luckily, he was not injured by the bullet.

Officers believe the shot came from an open field near the home, where gunfire had been heard earlier in the evening.

At this time, Officers have not located the person they believe is responsible.  It is unknown if the shot was fired by a hunter or if someone celebrating the New Year fired the gun.
