A preliminary report states that at about 1 a.m., Deluna was driving in the 4900 block of Eisenhauer Road, near Fratt Road, at a high rate of speed. He crashed into the back of a police car that was stopped at the red light, police said.
An SAPD sergeant that was in the car was assisted out of his vehicle by officers at the scene and taken to the hospital.
Deluna and a passenger in his vehicle were also taken to the hospital.
Deluna was later booked into the Bexar County Jail.
A blood draw warrant shows that Deluna had a strong odor of alcohol, slurred speech and bloodshot eyes, and was acting combative and insulting toward officers. He refused to voluntarily provide a breath or blood sample.
Records show he had two prior DWI convictions, one in 2007 and one in 2015.
Multiple other vehicles were involved in the crash, but no other injuries were reported. The incident is under investigation.
