Santa Fe Police Department –
Aggravated Assault Investigation
SUSPECT IN CUSTODY!!!!

On October 11, at approximately 2:00 p.m., officers were dispatched to the McDonald’s on Highway 6 in reference to a stabbing.
Upon arrival, officers learned that the suspect had fled the scene.
Galveston County SO Deputies arrived and began gathering information while Santa Fe Police officers made scene. Santa Fe Fire & Rescue medics arrived quickly and rendered aid to the victim, who had sustained a stab wound to the back following a dispute over a handicap parking space. Through a swift investigative response, officers obtained video footage from eyewitnesses and the business’s surveillance system, which assisted in identifying the suspect. Detectives worked with the District Attorney’s Office and were able to obtain a charge of Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon.
_____ IN CUSTODY________

A special thanks to the Galveston County Sheriff's Office Fugitive Apprehension Team for locating her so quickly and taking her into custody.

Please remember: No parking space is worth a life. Disagreements can escalate in seconds, and no argument is worth risking your safety or someone else’s. Walk away, stay calm, and let law enforcement handle the situation when necessary.

Haunted House Update

Hello everyone,

We have received a tremendous amount of interest and many questions regarding this year’s Haunted House. Unfortunately, due to the timing of a new directive from the City regarding city employees not being allowed to participate in Halloween activities on city property, we had no choice but to cancel this year’s Haunted House.

While we are disappointed that we were unable to make it happen this year, this is definitely not the end! Unfortunately, the timing did not give us enough time to put together an alternative event for this Halloween.

That being said, stay tuned! We have some exciting ideas in the works, and we are looking forward to putting together something truly amazing for our community.

We want to sincerely thank everyone for the incredible support you have shown us in the past. We appreciate each and every one of you and hope to see you again next year!

Thank you for your continued support, and Happy Halloween! 🎃👻

Good morning Santa Fe,

This is going to be kind of lengthy please read and educate the elderly and the young because these scams are getting out of hand...

We continue to see scams where criminals impersonate law enforcement officers, courts, government agencies, attorneys, utility companies, debt collectors, and other legitimate organizations.

One of the biggest red flags is HOW they demand you pay.

👉 If someone tells you that you must pay a ticket, warrant, bill, debt, fine, or other obligation using a GIFT CARD, BITCOIN/CRYPTOCURRENCY, or by handing over a large amount of CASH — STOP. VERIFY IT FIRST.

These are common tactics used by scammers.

🚩 COMMON SCAM EXAMPLES

📞 “You have a warrant for your arrest.”
The caller claims to be a police officer or court employee and says you can avoid arrest by immediately paying a fine with gift cards, Bitcoin, or cash.

💳 “Your debt must be paid today.”
A supposed debt collector threatens arrest, a lawsuit, or other consequences unless you immediately send cryptocurrency, purchase gift cards, or deliver cash.

👮 “This is the police department.”
The scammer may even spoof the department's actual phone number or use the name and badge number of a real officer. The FBI warns that caller ID can be spoofed and that law enforcement does not call or email people demanding money or threatening arrest.

🏛️ “You owe the government money.”
Scammers impersonate government agencies and demand immediate payment through gift cards, cryptocurrency, wire transfers, or payment apps. The FTC specifically warns that government agencies do not demand payment this way.

🎁 REMEMBER THIS ABOUT GIFT CARDS

Gift cards are for gifts — NOT for paying bills, warrants, tickets, taxes, or debts.

If someone tells you to purchase an Apple, Google Play, Amazon, Walmart, Target, or other gift card and give them the numbers or PIN, it is a scam.

₿ BE CAREFUL WITH CRYPTOCURRENCY

Scammers love cryptocurrency because transactions can be extremely difficult to reverse.

The FTC reported that consumers lost more than $4 billion in 2025 through scams involving bank transfers and cryptocurrency, with many involving criminals impersonating government agencies or legitimate businesses.

💵 AND BE CAREFUL WITH CASH

If someone tells you to withdraw a large amount of cash and meet them somewhere, give it to a courier, mail it, or leave it somewhere for pickup because of a supposed warrant, investigation, debt, or emergency — STOP.

Verify the situation independently before giving anyone your money.

🛑 HOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF

1. Slow down.
Scammers create a sense of urgency because they don't want you to have time to think.

2. Don't trust caller ID.
A scammer can make a call appear to come from a legitimate police department, government agency, or business.

3. Hang up and call the agency yourself.
Use a phone number you obtain independently — not the number the caller gives you.

4. Never give a caller gift card numbers or PINs.

5. Never send cryptocurrency because someone threatens you with arrest or legal action.

6. Don't provide personal or financial information to an unexpected caller.

7. Talk to someone you trust.
Scammers often tell victims to keep the situation secret. Don't let them isolate you.

⚠️ ONE SIMPLE RULE

If someone is threatening you with arrest, a warrant, suspension of your benefits, cancellation of your utilities, or legal action and says you MUST pay immediately using gift cards, Bitcoin/cryptocurrency, wire transfer, or another unusual payment method — STOP.

Hang up. Verify. Then decide what to do.

And remember: Being scammed doesn't mean you're stupid. These criminals are professionals who use fear, urgency, technology, and impersonation to make people act before they think.

If you believe you've been scammed, don't send any more money. Contact your financial institution immediately and report the fraud to the appropriate authorities. The FTC recommends reporting fraud at ReportFraud.ftc.gov, and internet-enabled crimes can also be reported to the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3).

When in doubt — STOP, HANG UP, and VERIFY. 🚨

A sincere thank-you from the Santa Fe POA

The Santa Fe Police Officers Association would like to extend our sincerest appreciation to two remarkable female bystanders who stepped up to assist our officers during an incident on FM 646.

While Corporal Doucette was checking on a female who was walking with a child in a stroller in the center turn lane of 646, the situation quickly escalated. The woman became belligerent toward Corporal Doucette. When the woman began struggling with the officer, these two women did something that deserves recognition.

Instead of standing by with their phones out recording, they stepped forward and made sure the child was safe, allowing Corporal Doucette to focus on safely handling the situation.

It is easy to watch from the sidelines. It takes courage and compassion to step forward and help.

Ladies, thank you. Your willingness to put the safety of a child first and assist an officer in a difficult moment means more than words can express. The Santa Fe POA sincerely appreciates your actions and your willingness to be part of our community when it mattered most.

Thank you for stepping up. Thank you for helping. And most importantly, thank you for looking out for that child.
