SAN ANTONIO<\/strong> \u2013 A sheriff\u2019s deputy was arrested for allegedly assaulting a female deputy he was in a relationship with, according to the Bexar County Sheriff\u2019s Office. <\/p>\n

Abel Munoz Sifuentes, 29, was taken into custody on Thursday. He faces charges of assault causing bodily injury to a family member, according to court records.<\/p>\n

The sheriff\u2019s office said they learned about the assault during the woman\u2019s exit interview after she submitted her resignation with the agency.<\/p>\n

The woman told investigators that in May 2024, after his shift, Sifuentes entered the bedroom, grabbed her by the shirt, lifted her off the bed and pushed her against the wall, causing injury. She said he also struck her face.<\/p>\n

After the interview, authorities obtained an arrest warrant for Sifuentes, who was arrested while on duty.<\/p>\n

The sheriff\u2019s office said Sifuentes refused to provide a statement and was served a letter of proposed termination.<\/p>\n

Sifuentes joined the agency in July 2017. He has been placed on administrative leave pending the investigation.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur Public Integrity Unit acted swiftly upon uncovering these allegations to make the arrest. Domestic violence has no place in society, much less in law enforcement. We have already started dismissal proceedings against this soon-to-be former employee,\u201d Sheriff Javier Salazar said. <\/p>\n
