KSAT Investigates News

Roxanne Cardona,Kirby Police Department

The chief of police for the Kirby Police Department and another officer violated the constitutional rights of a couple who owns a business there, a lawsuit filed in Bexar County state district court claims.

Look what she made her do: Taylor Swift fan from San Antonio flying to Germany to see pop star in concert–

The obstructions placed in front of the driveway include piles of dirt and gravel, limestone, boulders and a metal shipping container.“This is just one, giant mass of people against one small business owner,” said C.J. Grisham, attorney for business owner Nancy Pena. Pena was separately arrested and booked into jail on a misdemeanor assault charge on May 1, months after investigators said she repeatedly shoved a member of Covin’s family after a group of men used Bobcats to place a shipping container in front of the gate.

Covin, who declined to be interviewed on camera for this story, provided KSAT with a copy of a 2021 city permit for the Pena’s to construct a mobile office on the property. Briefed on the statement from Covin’s attorney, Grisham told KSAT, “This is rich coming from them. My client wants nothing more than her rights to earn a living. While the Covins have repeatedly interfered with her property rights far down the road from where they live, my client has done nothing more that exist and try to run a business that the Covins have interfered with for years.
