During the conversation, the owner expressed discomfort, alleging that the neighbor constantly stared at him and threw rocks and sticks at the dog, while officers explained that the neighbor’s reaction likely stemmed from fear of a loose animal in a shared space, pointing to a mutual misunderstanding. Officers then spoke with the neighbor, who claimed that the dog’s owner had expressed a desire to fight, prompting law enforcement to advise both parties to maintain a safe distance from one another and instruct the neighbor to call police again if the dog was ever seen running loose.

Natalia Police Report

OCTOBER 5TH, 2026 — At approximately 4:50 p.m. on October 5, a patrolling officer located a stalled semi-truck blocking traffic on the I-35 frontage road near Mustang Estates. The driver agreed to have a tow truck dispatched, and officers conducted traffic control in the area to manage the resulting congestion. A short time later, with assistance from a travel stop technician, the driver was able to safely move the semi-truck to the nearby Love’s Travel Stop, restoring normal traffic flow to the frontage road.
OCTOBER 5TH, 2026 — At approximately 5:13 p.m. on October 5, an officer was dispatched to the Natalia High School campus regarding a potential minor collision. The vehicle owner reported that another individual had pointed out damage to his front passenger bumper, though he was uncertain if the damage was pre-existing or occurred on school grounds. The driver declined to file a formal crash report regarding the possible incident. Officers documented the contact, provided a case number for reference, and cleared the scene with no further action required.
OCTOBER 6, 2026 – On October 5, officers responded to Love’s Travel Stop regarding a theft report. A victim reported that several sensitive personal items – including a driver’s license book, birth certificate, Social Security card, Commercial Driver’s License (CDL), and DOT medical card – were stolen from her bag between 6:00 a.m. and 7:00 a.m. that morning. The victim discovered the items were missing after traveling to Laredo, Texas, and returned to Natalia to report the theft. Store staff advised that there were no surveillance cameras covering the specific area where the theft occurred. Police documented the incident and generated a formal report. No further leads or suspect descriptions are available at this time.
OCTOBER 6, 2026 – At approximately 5:50 p.m. on October 6, an officer responded to a report of an individual in a wheelchair near a travel stop and located the resident nearby the Dollar General on FM 471. The officer spoke with the resident, who assured the officer that she was safe and simply traveling to the store as exercise. After offering a courtesy ride, which the resident politely declined, officers cleared the scene with no further action required.
OCTOBER 7TH, 2026 – On October 7, a family member visited the Natalia Police Department to report that a gate was broken at a home on 6th Street while she was securing the property.

The Natalia Police Department has agreed to conduct extra patrols in the area to monitor the home for suspicious activity and prevent potential trespassing.
OCTOBER 8TH 2026 – At approximately 9:12 p.m. on October 7, police were dispatched to the Dollar General on FM 471 following reports that a subject previously told to leave had returned to the store.

According to store staff, the suspect was instructed twice earlier that evening to leave but remained in the area. When questioned by officers, the suspect stated he had returned to gather discarded items and claimed he had permission to be on the premises, which employees denied.

OCTOBER 8TH, 2026 – According to police, the resident purchased two money orders – one for $1,000 and another for $200 – on September 8 and mailed them to his mortgage lender to cover a monthly payment. The issue came to light after the homeowner received notice of an overdue balance and contacted the mortgage company, which confirmed the $1,200 payment had not been received. A subsequent check revealed that neither money order had been cashed, leading the resident to believe the documents were lost in the mail during transit.

Authorities noted there is currently no evidence of theft or fraudulent activity.

Responding officers conducted a civil standby and made contact with the relative at the residence, who stated they had not been served with any legal notice or court documentation directing them to release the child.

The officer contacted the reporting party by phone to confirm his spouse’s well-being. Dispatch was notified, and the officer cleared the scene to resume normal patrol with no further action required.
9/29 – 1:45PM
An officer was instructed to contact a citizen via telephone regarding a reported violation of a no-contact order.
The reporting party stated that her ex-boyfriend had contacted her via Instagram, violating an active no-contact order stemming from a prior domestic dispute. The officer checked the database and confirmed the active no-contact bond condition.

The report was filed for informational purposes only.
9/29 – 4:30PM
An officer responded to a high school regarding a civil matter report. A parent reported that he withdrew his child from school to take him to his residence in San Antonio.

The parent noted concerns regarding utility access at the caregiver’s residence due to his own declining health and inability to work. Because an existing court order was in place, the parent was advised to consult with an attorney to address custody and living arrangements. The report was filed for informational purposes only.

She was safely escorted to the emergency room waiting area for medical care.

An officer responded via phone to a public service complaint regarding alleged harassment. The complainant reported being harassed and bullied by an individual. Upon contacting the other party, that individual admitted to reaching out despite prior police warnings not to contact the complainant, claiming the communication was only to check on her well-being. Both parties provided screenshot evidence of text messages and accused each other of holding stolen property from when they were dating. Both individuals were instructed to handle their property dispute through civil court, warned to cease all contact with each other immediately, and cleared from the scene without further incident.
10/5 – 1:00AM
An officer was flagged down by a resident reporting teenagers trespassing in his backyard. A search of the property and surrounding area yielded no suspects. Shortly after, the officer was dispatched back to the same address after the resident reported the individuals had returned. A second search of the perimeter and nearby gas station again found no one. The officer spoke with the resident’s spouse, who mentioned he takes medication for diabetes and occasionally experiences misperceptions (such as seeing nonexistent bugs), though he posed no danger to others. The resident admitted to consuming alcohol, denied being suicidal or having hallucinations, and was advised to let law enforcement handle any future property concerns. No criminal activity was found.
