Location: 2500 State Highway 181
Event: Warrantless Mental Commitment
Case Number: 1504010107

Traffic was disrupted over the Harbor Bridge for an hour Wednesday evening because a 23-year-old woman climbed the structure of the bridge outside of the public access.

Corpus Christi Police responded to several calls of a woman who climbed the support structure of the Harbor Bridge in a dangerous manner at 5:40pm. The 23-year-old woman wore a white sleeveless shirt, pink shorts, and black sandals and climbed over barricades to the top support structure of the bridge. The Corpus Christi Police Hostage Negotiators responded along with the Corpus Christi Fire Department, The Corpus Christi Port Police, and the Corpus Christi Marina Patrol. Traffic was blocked in the lanes nearest to the 23-year-old woman until 6:45pm when the 23-year-old woman climbed down from the support structure and was apprehended by Corpus Christi Police.

The Corpus Christi Police took the 23-year-old woman to the hospital for a mental health evaluation so that she may get the help she needs.

The priority for the Corpus Christi Police Department is for the 23-year-old woman to get help she seeks, but it may be possible the woman could later face criminal charges of Criminal Trespass.
