“The employee chose her actions poorly and will face consequences," Sheriff Javier Salazar said in a statement earlier Monday.
Garcia, who has been with the sheriff’s office since October 2018, was arrested at 11:51 p.m. by a San Antonio police officer.
She was assigned to the Detention Bureau’s Jail Annex.
The BCSO Internal Affairs Unit will be conducting a separate but concurrent administrative investigation into this incident.
Her bail was set at $500 for the Class-B misdemeanor.
