San Antonio’s top cop questioned Friday how the suspect accused of shooting and wounding two officers was out of jail despite being arrested twice in the past year.
Chief Bill McManus posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, about why 28-year-old shooting suspect Jesse Garcia was given such low bond amounts that allowed him back onto the streets.
Authorities said Thursday that Garcia fired a rifle at officers who were trying to arrest the suspect on recently issued arrest warrants. The two officers who were shot are still in the hospital, according to local ABC affiliate KSAT-TV.Garcia was wanted for losing contact with the bondsman who covered his $40,000 bond after he was arrested and charged with car burglary, evading arrest and felon in possession of a gun in June.
He has prior convictions for gun offenses, drug possession and giving a fake ID to a cop. Garcia also spent time at a juvenile facility as a teen.
