Vargas’ attorney, Ben Sifuentes, also accused the city of providing incomplete audit trails of body-worn camera footage, at one point stating that SAPD has a history of hiding body camera footage it does not want getting out to the public. Vargas, in the footage that had not been shown publicly before, is then heard repeatedly yelling at Garza to “get the f--- out of the car!”
Garza was released from probation in early March, long before his community supervision was scheduled to expire, Bexar County court records show. Sifuentes described police as responding to a situation that night for someone “acting all crazy” during a heated custody dispute.Sifuentes pointed out that this was Sendejo’s first internal affairs investigation and that he had failed to get Garza to sign a HIPAA release form.
