Incident Overview
On February 27, 2026, Tionne Spears, a 26-year-old woman, allegedly drove through a cordoned-off crime scene in Bexar County, Texas, and ran over the body of a deceased victim. The victim, a 61-year-old man, had been struck by two vehicles earlier that day near State Highway 211. According to Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar, the man was pronounced dead at the scene, and his body was covered with a sheet while authorities investigated the incident.
Details of the Incident
Spears reportedly crashed her vehicle into the crime scene, nearly colliding with two deputies present at the scene. Fortunately, no additional injuries were reported from the incident. Sheriff Salazar indicated that deputies suspected Spears was intoxicated at the time of the crash, as she was found in possession of khat, a stimulant plant known to affect pain tolerance. Investigators are awaiting toxicology results to determine if Spears had khat or other substances in her system during the incident.
Legal Consequences
Following the incident, Tionne Spears was arrested and charged with driving while intoxicated, abuse of a corpse, and possession of a controlled substance. She was booked into the Bexar County Adult Detention Center. Sheriff Salazar expressed disbelief at the occurrence, stating, “I’ve been doing this job 33 years now and never heard of somebody barreling through a crime scene like that and running over a dead body that’s already on the roadway.”
Background Context
The initial incident involving the deceased man occurred when he was struck by two vehicles. Both drivers involved in the earlier collisions remained at the scene, and no criminal wrongdoing is suspected on their part. The circumstances surrounding why the victim was lying on the roadway at the time of the accidents remain unclear, although a black Chrysler 300 registered to him was located near the scene.
Criticism & Opposition
While the incident has drawn significant media attention, there has been no public dissent or criticism regarding the actions of law enforcement or the legal proceedings against Spears at this time.
