CORPUS CHRISTI - A veteran on a mission to raise money for wounded warriors and their families says he hit a snag in his efforts when he made it to the Corpus Christi city limits. U.S. Army veteran Rooster Lee is doing a 100 mile long walk to raise money. He started his march up near Sinton, dressed in full fatigues and carrying an American flag. But 54 miles into his walk, the Corpus Christi Police Department stopped him near the Harbor Bridge. According to Rooster, officers told him he was breaking the law by walking along the highway without a permit. Corpus Christi police say that's not true. They suspect there was a miscommunication. A spokesman says drivers were concerned for his safety and asked police to step in. We're told a permit is nly required if someone needs a highway lane shut down for an activity. Rooster hasn't gotten back with us to talk about how he plans to finish the last 47 miles of his trek.
