The widow of Corpus Christi Police Chief Floyd Simpson was in court Thursday over a charge pending against her. Tanya Simpson was arrested November 21, 2016 after being accused of being drunk and assaulting a female customer at the Walmart on the 6100 block of Saratoga Boulevard. According to a police report, Simpson was cursing at a Walmart employee. The fight reportedly began when the woman asked Simpson to calm down. The victim, Brittany Vela, told police she had to defend herself and struck back at Simpson. Vela told officers she got struck in the face and head. She suffered a small cut to her left hand and the inside of her top lip. A routine hearing on the case was held Thursday morning in County Court at Law 3. Defense attorneys Lisa Greenberg and Terry Shamsie are representing Simpson in this case. Simpson faces a charge of assault causing bodily injury. There's no word on when she'll go to trial. Simpson is the widow of Corpus Christi Police Chief Floyd Simpson. Simpson died in a motorcycle crash on Highway 361 near Port Aransas on May 3, 2015.
