Occurred on 5/19/2012    02:49am     4500 Adkins     Auto Burglary        1205190038

The owner of a late-model Ford Pickup residing in the 4400 block of Jansen Street, told the investigating officer that he noticed the dome light to his truck was on, so he walked outside to investigate.  When he checked the truck, the owner discovered that someone had rifled through the glove compartment and strewn papers about the cab, but nothing appeared to be missing.  The man told officers that when he walked to the truck, he saw a dark-colored Mitsubishi Eclipse that was parked one house away drive off at a high rate of speed.  The officer began searching the neighborhood for the suspect vehicle and spotted a black Eclipse stopped near several parked cars in the 4900 block of Trinity Street.  When the officer approached, the Eclipse suddenly sped away; running a stop sign at Mt. Vernon.  The Officer then pulled the car over in the 4900 block of Lavaca Street, which was occupied by two men in their late teens.  In the rear seat of the car, the officer noticed a black backpack containing a pill bottle.  Also inside the backpack were a black IPod, five pocket knives, and a pair of sunglasses. The name on the prescription didn’t match either of the teens and returned to an address on the 4500 block of Adkins Street. Officers contacted the homeowner on Adkins, who told them that someone had stolen the pill bottle from the cab of his late-model Ford Pickup, along with his IPod, two pocket knives, and a pair of sunglasses.  The man then identified the IPod, pocket knives,  and sunglasses that were found inside the backpack as his.  Both men, Christopher Garza (DOB: 10-8-1993) and Rafael Soliz (DOB: 4-12-1993), were then arrested and charged with Auto Burglary and possession of a controlled substance.

Two CCPD Officers patrolling the 6000 block of Holly Road observed a tan colored Infiniti in front of them commit several traffic violations before turning onto the 2100 block of Nodding Pines.  When officers attempted to stop the car, the driver continued on and turned into a small apartment complex, speeding up in the parking lot and striking a silver BMW.  The Infiniti continued to evade officers, speeding toward the rear of the complex, where the driver jumped from the vehicle while it was still in motion.  The car then crashed into the rear of a parked pickup truck, while the driver fled on foot.  Officers pursed the man, who jumped a fence and continued to run down the 6000 block of Wilderock and into a second housing complex.  Officers finally apprehended the man after he unsuccessfully attempted to force his way into one of the townhomes.  Thomas Stevenson (DOB: 7-11-1983) was arrested for Evading Arrest in a vehicle and on foot.  Officers later discovered that he had one outstanding warrant for criminal mischief from Nueces County, and two outstanding warrants from Travis County for possession and delivery of a controlled substance.  He was booked at the City Detention Center after being medically evaluated due to the traffic crash.
