Corpus Christi Police Make Many Arrests For Intoxicated Driving Over Christmas

The Corpus Christi Police are pleased to announce that there were no injuries or fatalities on Corpus Christi roadways over the Christmas weekend due to intoxicated driving, partly because of strict enforcement by Officers which got many intoxicated drivers off the road before they could injure someone.

Corpus Christi Police arrested 15 people for intoxicated driving from December 23rd to December 26th.

Officers arrested:
9 people for driving while intoxicated as a first offense during the Christmas weekend;
2 people were arrested for driving while intoxicated with a prior conviction of D.W.I.;
2 people were arrested for driving while intoxicated with a Blood Alcohol Concentration over twice the legal limit;
and 2 people were arrested for driving while intoxicated with an open container of alcohol in the passenger compartment of the vehicle.

One Officer arrested 27 year old Andres Narvaez (8/10/1989) for driving while intoxicated as a first offense and found Narvaez was in possession of a loaded black Colt 380 handgun. Narvaez was additionally charged with unlawful carrying of a weapon because the Texas Penal Code Section 46.02 prohibits an intoxicated person from possession of a firearm while operating a motor vehicle.

Corpus Christi Police will be out in full force again this coming weekend for New Years for strict enforcement of intoxicated driving for the effort to make our roadways safer. Always plan to have a sober driver. D.W.I.’s are the worst hangovers.

Officers found Glasson at a convenience store located at Waldron and Caribbean. Glasson saw the first police unit in the Stripes parking lot and reversed into the unit, side swiping the unit and continuing around the parking lot. Glasson circled around and rammed that same patrol unit from the rear and proceeded out of the parking lot . Glasson drove onto to Waldron Road and collided with a guard rail then reversed and headed North, when he rammed a second Police unit which caused it to spin around in the intersection of Waldron and Caribbean. The airbags deployed to both vehicles. The Glasson then exited his vehicle in a delirious state. Officers used pepper and the electronic control device to get Glasson into custody.  

One Officer was taken to Spohn South, where he was released with a cut and contusion to his left forearm, and some small cuts to his face.   The other Officer suffered some neck and shoulder pain, but remained in service.

The officers got into the marked patrol unit and tried to catch up to the vehicle. Officers located the vehicle which crashed into a house in the 300 block of 16th Street.

Officers arrived and observed the male and female getting out of the car. The male was attempting to walk away. Officers detained the male who immediately complained that his leg was hurting and did not mention anyone else that might have been injured. Officers called for a medic to check the male suspect. At the same time the 25 year old female was yelling “My baby, my baby.” Officers checked the vehicle and observed a 7 year old female screaming with blood coming from her face. The child was stuck between the passenger door frame and the front passenger seat. Officers smelled gas and feared that the vehicle might catch fire. Officers had to break the window and force the seat away from the child in order to remove her from the vehicle. Medics arrived and treated the child for several lacerations to her forehead.

Officers arrested Brendann Williams (11-08-1990) for evading in a motor vehicle and endangering a child. A search incident to arrest revealed that Brendann had what appeared to be crack cocaine in his pants pocket. Brendann had to be medically cleared and was then transported to the City Detention Center. At CDC, Brendann was found pills and marijuana hidden in the area of his crotch. The investigation is still ongoing and there is a possibility that the 25 year old female could be charged in this case.
