Corpus Christi police have obtained a warrant for a department officer on a charge of official oppression following a workplace incident he self-reported.
The Corpus Christi Police Department’s Criminal Investigations Division obtained the warrant Thursday for Officer Frederick Garcia on a charge of Official Oppression under Texas Penal Code 39.03, a Class A Misdemeanor. The warrant stems from an incident that occurred in the workplace on July 5, 2026.
Garcia self-reported the incident, which investigators quickly determined to be a criminal offense. The case was presented to the Nueces County District Attorney’s Office, which accepted the charges.
