SAPD Officer Javier Perales Jr. received two indefinite suspensions in about as many months. The first was in November 2017 for threatening his ex-wife and her father, a cancer patient. As he tries to appeal the second case, his ex-wife tells us why she believes the alleged victim.

A major change was announced Monday for the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office as part of the collective bargaining agreement -- no more arbitration, and the deputy discipline and appeals process is changing significantly.

Javier Perales Jr. is appealing the indefinite suspension he received in January 2018 for allegedly taking explicit photos off a woman’s phone and then using a series of spoofed numbers to text her the photos as well as pictures of male genitalia. He’s also accused of contacting the same woman with a fake Facebook account.
