NUECES COUNTY, Texas — It all went down this morning around 9 a.m. in Robstown after the police there along with Nueces County District Attorney Task Force Investigator were called to help locate 30-year-old Johnny Milton Nino.
Authorities said Nino had been moving from hotel to hotel because he was wanted on a motion to revoke warrant out of Nueces County for a probation violation.
Officers found him and surrounded him in a business parking lot at 357 West Jay in Robstown. A Robstown Police detective said Nino did not resist but he did have a loaded handgun in his pocket which he turned over to officers.
Investigators also said Nino refused to cooperate with them about where his daughter was being kept. But, eventually, his girlfriend told police where the child was and they were able to locate her in Corpus Christi.
We are told the child is fine and now back in CPS custody. Nino was arrested on that outstanding warrant along with an additional 3rd degree felony charge of unlawful possession of a firearm because he is a felon. More charges aren’t expected to be filed in this case
