A man accused of killing a Bexar County Sheriff’s Office K-9 over three years ago is facing new charges.
According to Bexar County Jail records, 38-year-old Matthew Mireles is charged with possession of a deadly weapon in a penal institution in two separate indictments.
The incidents happened in February when Mireles carried a metal shank into the Bexar County Adult Detention Center.
