CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas â Former mayoral candidate John Medina is out of jail after he posted bond.
Medina was released about 6 p.m. Wednesday.
An arrest report requested by KRIS 6 News states Medina is charged with felony arson. His bond is $75,000. The case that was being investigated was an arson case, and that was what, I believe, he was arrested for, said Nueces County District Attorney Mark A. Gonzalez. That stemmed from . . . Election Day.
He was arrested at around 2:30 p.m. Tuesday at his home in the 4900 block of Mokry Street in connection with a fire inside his home that occurred on Nov. 3.

And while she lost her battle with cancer on Wednesday she leaves a legacy that police officers throughout the area will long remember, Tamez said.
