What the released report says
Bexar County Mugshots obtained a redacted San Antonio Police Department report detailing the August 28 arrest of Daniel Hernandez-Villarreal, identified in the report as an active Bexar County Sheriff’s Office deputy.
According to the arresting officer’s narrative, the encounter began around 2:30 a.m. near Interstate 10 and Huebner Road. The officer reported observing a Ford SUV traveling southbound on the access road at 69 mph in a posted 50 mph zone. After the officer activated his emergency lights, the driver pulled into a nearby parking lot.
The officer described bloodshot eyes, an odor of alcohol and indicators of impairment during roadside sobriety testing. According to the report, Hernandez-Villarreal initially denied drinking before later saying he had consumed two beers. The officer also reported finding an open liquor container in the vehicle’s trunk area during an inventory.
The released forms list the arrest time as 2:44 a.m. The narrative states that Hernandez-Villarreal consented to a breath test administered at approximately 3:39 a.m., with a result reportedly above the legal limit. The released materials do not provide his exact alcohol concentration. The report states that SAPD and BCSO supervisors were notified.
The request for video and audio
On September 4, we requested bodycam footage, dashboard video, dispatch recordings and other records concerning the arrest. On September 11, SAPD released the redacted report and DWI forms but withheld video, audio and additional responsive material.
SAPD said releasing those records would interfere with an open or pending criminal investigation or prosecution, citing Texas Government Code § 552.108(a)(1). The department used a standing Attorney General determination for its response. That response did not establish that the Attorney General had separately reviewed this incident’s footage.
At the time of this report, our next step was a renewed request for the recordings and review of the withholding decision. The released paperwork supplied a police account of the encounter; the recordings remained a separate, unresolved part of our records work.
What this report establishes
The account above is attributed to the released police records. It does not independently establish the underlying allegations or a court outcome. Hernandez-Villarreal is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court. Any later release of recordings or documented case development should be read alongside the date of this report.
