A 16-year old boy has been detained by Corpus Christi police after trying to snatch a girl from Ray High School.
According to CCISD Police Chief Kirby Warnke, the boy grabbed the girl who was on campus about 9:10 a.m.
A CCISD police officer saw a struggle and ran toward the pair. That’s when the boy released the girl and ran.
The officer chased the boy and called for backup. Corpus Christi Police and a city marshal immediately responded to the scene. They caught the boy near Orlando Drive and Casa Bonita Drive.
He has been taken into custody.
