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. While it is currently unknown whether anyone entered the residence or if any property was taken, “No Trespassing” signs have been posted around the perimeter to deter unauthorized visitors. 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. Responding officers located the suspect outside the building near the entrance and placed him in handcuffs. Store employees reported that the individual had been given multiple verbal warnings by management and staff over consecutive days to leave the property and not return, citing past altercations and panhandling. 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. After store representatives completed formal trespass documentation, officers determined there was probable cause to charge the suspect. He was taken into custody for Criminal Trespass and transported to the Medina County Jail for booking.
OCTOBER 8TH 2026 – A patrol officer observed a man walking on the wrong side of the road and stepping toward the middle of the highway, causing an oncoming vehicle to swerve to avoid striking him. Officers made contact with the pedestrian, who stated he was unaware that walking on that side of the roadway was against traffic laws. The individual explained he had been dropped off in the area to perform lawn work and was currently experiencing homelessness. After ensuring he was not carrying any weapons, officers provided the man with a courtesy transport to Haven for Hope in San Antonio to ensure his safety and access to shelter services.
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. Officers documented the incident and provided a case number to assist the resident with the financial recovery and tracing process. Authorities noted there is currently no evidence of theft or fraudulent activity.
OCTOBER 8TH, 2026 – Officers were dispatched to a residence on 7th Street after a complainant requested law enforcement assistance, stating they possessed a temporary restraining order granting them custody of a 3-year-old child. The complainant reported that the property’s front gate was locked, preventing them from retrieving the child from another relative currently caring for him. 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. Officers subsequently conducted a welfare check on the 3-year-old child. No signs of abuse, neglect, or injury were observed, and officers determined the child was not in any immediate danger.
OCTOBER 11TH, 2026 – At about 2:51 p.m. on October 11, officers responded to a smoking vehicle near mile marker 127 on southbound I-35. Upon arrival near mile marker 126, responding officers found a semi-truck fully engulfed in flames. Local law enforcement and the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) coordinated at the scene, securing the area and requesting a wrecker. Officers set up traffic control at key nearby intersections, including State Highway 132 and FM 471 near Love’s Travel Stop, to divert traffic safely away from the burning vehicle. The driver of the semi-truck was uninjured and provided a courtesy transport to a nearby truck stop (TA Express) while state troopers remained on scene to handle the investigation and clear the roadway.
OCTOBER 11TH, 2026 – Emergency crews responded to a downed power line and minor fire in Natalia on Sunday afternoon following an alleged hit-and-run incident involving a commercial vehicle.
At about 4:15 p.m. on October 11, officers were dispatched to the 600 block of 6th Street. Upon arrival, an officer observed a resident attempting to extinguish a small fire near the downed utility line using a household fire extinguisher. The officer directed the bystander to a safe distance due to electrical hazards, secured the immediate area, and blocked traffic to prevent vehicles from entering the street. Fire department personnel responded to the scene, closing off the opposite end of the street and setting up traffic cones to maintain a safe perimeter. A witness informed officers that a semi-truck struck the power line and fled the scene before emergency services arrived. No license plate or further description of the semi-truck was available. Firefighters remained on the scene to monitor the area while awaiting the arrival of the local power company to manage the downed line. No injuries were reported.

The parent noted concerns regarding utility access at the caregiver’s residence due to his own declining health and inability to work.

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

10/4 – 10:40PM
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.

Evelyn Lassere

Evelyn Lassere was a woman whose love knew no bounds, whose smile could light up an entire room, and whose heart had a place for everyone she met. She never met a stranger and possessed a remarkable gift for making people feel loved, welcomed, and as though they were part of her family.
Evelyn’s greatest love story began in 1959 when she met the love of her life, Bobby Lassere, at a restaurant. Their love quickly blossomed into a lifelong devotion, and they were married in November 1961. Together, they shared nearly 65 years of marriage, building a beautiful family and creating a partnership that became an example of enduring love to all who knew them.
Throughout their lives together, Evelyn and Bobby experienced some of life’s greatest joys as well as its deepest sorrows. They endured the heartbreaking loss of two children, Debbie and Robbie, carrying their precious memory in their hearts every day. They were later blessed with two children, Bobby and Jeanine, whom Evelyn loved fiercely and unconditionally.
Family was the center of Evelyn’s world. She was a devoted wife, a loving mother, and a cherished grandmother and great-grandmother. Her greatest joy came from being present for those she loved. Whether it was a football game, volleyball match, steer show, or countless 4-H and FFA events, Evelyn could always be found cheering from the stands or standing along the show ring fence. She celebrated every accomplishment as if it were her own and never missed an opportunity to support her family.
Long before she had grandchildren of her own, Evelyn had already earned the title of “Memaw” in the hearts of many. She loved other people’s children as though they were family, and when her own grandchildren and great-grandchildren arrived, her heart somehow grew even larger. She treasured every moment spent with them and created memories that will be carried forward for generations.
Evelyn also dedicated herself to serving the students of Natalia High School as a special education aide. She loved her work, but most importantly, she loved the children she worked with. Those students held a special place in her heart, and the kindness, encouragement, and care she gave them extended far beyond the classroom. Through her compassion and gentle spirit, she made a lasting difference in countless lives.
A true social butterfly, Evelyn loved people and was loved in return. Her beautiful smile, infectious personality, and genuine interest in others made everyone feel valued and appreciated. Whether she was with family, friends, students, neighbors, or someone she had just met, she had a way of making every person feel special.
Above all else, Evelyn was love. She loved her husband deeply, her children fiercely, and her grandchildren and great-grandchildren beyond measure. She loved her friends, her students, and the many people who became family along the way.
Her family takes comfort in knowing that Evelyn is no longer suffering and has been called home. They find peace in imagining her reunited once again with her sweet children, Debbie and Robbie, and lighting up Heaven with the same beautiful smile that brightened so many lives here on earth.
Evelyn is survived by her loving husband of nearly 65 years, Bobby Lassere; her son, Bobby Lassere; her daughter, Jeanine (Quinton) Mello; her cherished grandchildren, Madison (David) Romero, Jayden Mello, and Cord Lassere; and her beloved great-grandchildren, Walker Romero and Evelyn Romero. She also leaves behind numerous extended family members, dear friends, former students, and countless others whose lives were touched by her kindness, generosity, and love.
She was preceded in death by her two children, Robbie Lassere and Debbie Lassere; her parents, Ivalene and Walter Giesick; her sister, Barbara Giesick; and her brothers, David Giesick and Brian Giesick.
Evelyn leaves behind a legacy far greater than words can express: a legacy of faith, family, kindness, laughter, devotion, and unconditional love. She taught those around her the value of showing up, loving deeply, and making every person feel important.
Though she will be missed more than words can say, her love will remain woven into every family gathering, every ballgame, every steer show, every laugh, and every cherished story shared about the remarkable woman so many were blessed to call Mom, Memaw, Wife, and Friend.
A public viewing will be held in her honor on Thursday, August 27, 2026 at Primrose Funeral Services in Lytle, Texas from 5:00pm – 8:00pm. We will also have A Celebration of Life on Friday, August 28, 2026 at 9:00am at Primrose before taking her to her final resting place in Mission Park Cemetery South (1700 SE Military, San Antonio, TX 78214).
Her beautiful life may have come to an end, but the love she gave will never end.
The family requests that attendees wear bright colors to Evelyn’s service as a celebration of her beautiful life and the joy, love, and light she brought to everyone who knew her.
