San Antonio police detective fired over claims he used excessive force during arrests
The San Antonio Police Department late last year fired detective Jack E. Harper III over allegations he punched and verbally berated suspects in a car-theft case even though they appeared to show no threat, newly available disciplinary records show. In addition to his alleged use of excessive force, Harper was punished for turning off his body-worn camera minutes into the call, filing an inaccurate report and trying to interfere with an internal investigation, according to SAPD documents. Department brass slapped Harper with an indefinite suspension on Dec. 18, which is tantamount to a firing, records indicate.
