The San Antonio Police Department has indefinitely suspended an officer without pay over allegations that he chased down his stolen vehicle and shot at the suspect while off duty, according to official paperwork. Officer Miguel Leal, was suspended indefinitely without pay on March 21 for violating SAPD policies, including improper use of a firearm and putting a civilian vehicle passenger in unnecessary danger, disciplinary records show. An indefinite suspension from SAPD is tantamount to a firing. Someone called Leal around 4 p.m.
