The ex-wife, driving a 2003 Ford Expedition, began to ram her SUV into the rear of the man’s truck several times.
When the man pulled into a parking lot in the 4100 block of South Staples Street to confront his ex-wife, she ran into his truck again with her SUV and then fled. No one in the truck was injured.
The ex-wife did not get far. She lost control of her SUV and crashed her Ford Expedition into a fence at 4629 Carroll Lane and then into a tree in the 3500 block of Harold Street. After the crash, the female exited her SUV and took off walking on foot from the area.

A 36 year old man called Corpus Christi Police after the ex-boyfriend of a female he is now dating came to his apartment, located in the 4000 block of Violet Road, armed with a gun.
Officers arrived at the man’s home and were told that he heard someone banging on the windows of his trailer but when he looked out, he could only see a white truck outside. The man also heard someone banging on the front door of his trailer, but he did not look out the window facing the front door because he was afraid. He told Officers that his girlfriend of two months has an ex-boyfriend that drivers a white truck.
Neighbors told Officers that they saw a man banging on the trailer and it appeared to them as if he broke two windows on the side of the home. They also said the man outside was armed with a handgun. They saw the man bang loudly on the front door, and then step back and point the handgun in the direction of the front door waiting for someone to answer.
When no one came to the front door, the man outside left in his truck but was located by Officers on Violet Road near Interstate 37.
Officers stopped the 2011 Dodge truck and after an investigation they determined that the driver, Jose Luis Garcia (02/11/1973), was intoxicated. They also found two loaded handguns in the center console of his truck.
The suspect was charged with aggravated assault, a felony offense, unlawful carrying of a weapon, a Class A misdemeanor. He was additionally charged with driving while intoxicated and criminal mischief for breaking the trailer windows. Both of those charges are Class B misdemeanors.

Officers wear able to view camera surveillance video from the restaurant. It shows a male suspect, 30 to 40 years of age, with dark hair, glasses, a beard or goatee enter the business through the broken window.
