🚨 No Crime, No ID, Then Jail: Lawsuit Targets Bexar Deputies and Somerset Police🚨

A suspicious person call reported no crime, no victim and no emergency. Minutes later, a man helping his father tune a car was handcuffed, kneed, taken to the ground and jailed for more than 16 hours after refusing to identify himself, according to a new federal lawsuit. The filing also alleges an officer seized his phone and stopped the recording while the stated reason for the arrest shifted in later reports. Now Bexar County deputies and Somerset police face questions about what the body cameras show and why an encounter that began with no reported crime ended in force and jail.

🚨SAPD RELEASES VIDEO OF FATAL POLICE SHOOTING OF 69-YEAR-OLD RAUL GARZA🚨

WARNING: The video contains graphic content.

The San Antonio Police Department has released a critical-incident video showing the moments leading to the fatal police shooting of 69-year-old Raul Garza on August 1, 2026.

Officers responded shortly after 7:30 p.m. to the 600 block of Aurora Avenue after a caller reported that her neighbor was outside waving a gun. The caller said police had a history with Garza and questioned whether he could be experiencing a mental health issue.

Body camera footage shows Garza with a handgun holstered at the back of his waistband. He repeatedly refused commands to get on the ground, turn around and place his hands on his head. At one point, an officer put away his own firearm, attempted to calm Garza and offered to call his daughter.

SAPD’s says Garza moved his hand toward the handgun twice before pulling it back. Officers can be heard pleading with him to stop. When Garza appeared to grab the weapon during a third movement, four officers opened fire, according to the video.

Garza was pronounced dead at the scene. Police previously said the recovered handgun was loaded but that Garza did not fire it. No officers or bystanders were injured.

Five officers were identified as involved: Joshua Rodriguez, John Reyes, Aldamaris Flores, Luis Cortes Garcia and Richard Julien.

SAPD’s Shooting Team and Internal Affairs Unit are conducting separate investigations, while the Bexar County District Attorney’s Office is reviewing the shooting.

🚨Flock Alerts Help Caldwell County Deputies Recover Two Stolen Vehicles in Two Days🚨

Two alerts on consecutive days helped Caldwell County deputies recover stolen vehicles traveling through the Lytton Springs area, according to the Caldwell County Sheriff’s Office. On September 1, Flock Safety cameras detected a vehicle reported stolen in Bastrop County. Deputies located the vehicle and detained the driver, Hugo Lopez, during their investigation before placing him under arrest. The Sheriff’s Office did not identify the charge filed against him.

On September 2, another Flock alert notified deputies about a vehicle reported stolen through the Austin Police Department. Deputies found the vehicle, confirmed it was stolen and took the driver, John Beech, into custody without incident.

An arrest is not a conviction, and both men are presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.

🚨Former Decatur Judge Publicly Admonished Over Warrant Amnesty Pleas🚨

A Decatur warrant amnesty docket was supposed to help people clear old cases without fear of arrest. Instead, Texas judicial regulators found the judge handled unresolved offenses without the prosecutor’s required consent. He said he planned to get approval afterward, but it never came. The judge is now off the court’s roster, and the public order does not reveal how many cases were affected or whether they were ever corrected.

🚨City of Kirby Branded Him a Fake. A Federal Lawsuit Says Officials Ignored His State License🚨

Kirby warned local businesses that a man performing fire extinguisher inspections was an imposter. Two years later, a federal lawsuit alleges officers already knew he held a state license, a witness had failed to identify him, and Bexar County deputies had independently verified his credentials. The lawsuit claims those facts were omitted from four warrant applications before he was arrested and jailed twice. Prosecutors never filed formal charges, and no grand jury indicted him.

🚨Bexar County Deputy Resigns in Lieu of Termination After Family Violence Arrest🚨

A Bexar County sheriff’s deputy resigned in lieu of termination following her arrest on a family violence charge, according to the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office.

Officials said a family member reported on Aug. 30 that off duty Deputy Johanna Villanueva had assaulted them. The agency’s Public Integrity Unit investigated the allegation and arrested Villanueva on a charge of assault causing bodily injury involving family violence.

Villanueva had worked for the sheriff’s office for approximately one year. BCSO said its criminal investigation remains underway, but the administrative investigation ended because Villanueva is no longer employed by the agency.

The charge is an accusation. Villanueva is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.

🚨CAMERON COUNTY JAIL VISITOR ACCUSED OF BRINGING MA*****NA TO INMATE🚨

A visit to the Cameron County Jail has resulted in felony charges against both a visitor and the inmate she allegedly went to see.

The Cameron County Sheriff’s Office said detention staff found inmate Victor Manuel Castillo, 27, in possession of suspected contraband following a visit with Alejandra Maria Guevara, 23. Authorities said the substance tested positive for ma*****na.

Investigators with the Jail Criminal Investigations Division and Special Investigations Unit reviewed surveillance footage and other evidence connected to the visit. The Sheriff’s Office said that investigation established probable cause to secure arrest warrants related to the alleged introduction and possession of the ma*****na.

Guevara was arrested at a Brownsville residence on September 1. Castillo remained in custody at the Cameron County Jail.

Both are now charged with Prohibited Substance in a Correctional Facility, a third degree felony. The Sheriff’s Office did not disclose how much ma*****na was found or explain how it was allegedly transferred to Castillo.

Their arraignments were pending when the charges were announced. The allegations have not been proven in court.
