Davies MedClinic from San Antonio has joined forces with Corpus Christi s Love Automotive Group to bring a COVID-19 mobile testing site to Corpus Christi.
The site will be located at 4401 S. Padre Island Dr, directly behind Love PreOwned AutoCenter on Flynn and Corona.
“Davies MedClinic with Love” combines the medical support of Dr. Scott Campbell, a Board-Certified physician in emergency medicine with the tech and business knowledge of Fraser Campbell, Patrick Dudley, Amir Khan, Marion Luna Brem, and Cameron Davies, the leading expert in design and manufacturing of mobile vending assets, having assembled a fleet of 45 mobile testing vehicles capable of conducting 400,000 tests daily. The company is projecting a fleet of 300 by the end of the year, according to the press release.
But NBC 7 found at least two San Diego County cases where people had been held for decades on offenses that were not legally qualifying for the program.
According to the District Attorney’s office, Rance E. Winters, 62, was committed to the MDO program back in 1999 after pleading guilty to starting a grass fire with paint thinner two years earlier and having his parole revoked. The California Board of Parole Hearings approved Winters’ commitment to the MDO program.
Winters’ offense unlawfully starting a fire or penal code 452(c) is not a legally qualifying offense for confinement past an offender’s release date under the MDO law. And now, the DA’s office said it has “notified Mr. Winters attorney in the Public Defender s Office so steps can be taken to end Mr. Winters participation in the MDO program.”
