Bexar Sheriff Javier Salazar speaks during an online news conference about the arrest.
BCSO personnel arrested Andrew Garcia Wednesday, and he's been charged with two counts of official oppression, assault with bodily injury and harassment, Sheriff Javier Salazar said during an online press conference. BCSO also has started the process of firing the 23-year-old deputy, the sheriff said.
An 18-year-old cadet being trained by Garcia told investigators the deputy threatened him with a Taser on Nov. 28, Salazar said. The probe later revealed that Garcia used the weapon to stun the cadet, according to the sheriff.
