Over the following week, she captured video of the same man near her patio multiple times \u2014 including one instance where he attempted to climb over the railing.<\/p>\n<p>San Antonio police said the footage matched the description of a suspect they had been investigating in several prowler cases at the complex dating back to 2023.<\/p>\n<p>The arrest warrant also says, McCleary, was previously evicted from the property due to prior disturbances, and was arrested Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThank God he got caught,\u201d said another resident, who asked not to be identified.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Residents say over the past few months, they were on edge, feeling unsafe, and some scared to go out at night.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe were all taking precautions and staying vigilant. Gallardo said. &#8220;Hopefully, this will be an example for others that are out there that might probably do the same.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Online records show McCleary was released from jail Sunday, after posting a $10,000 bond.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Online records show Ricardo McCleary Jr. was released from jail Sunday, after posting a $10,000 bond.
