SAN ANTONIO<\/strong> \u2013 A police officer was indefinitely suspended after he fled the scene of a crash while intoxicated, according to records obtained by KSAT Investigates.<\/p>\n

San Antonio Police Chief William McManus signed off on Officer Luis Carrillo\u2019s suspension on Oct. 23, 2025. City records show Carrillo had been with SAPD since 2023.<\/p>\n

Records show that around 12:30 a.m. on June 11, 2025, SAPD officers responded to a crash at the intersection of Wurzbach Parkway and Blanco Road. <\/p>\n

Several people who called 911 reported watching a driver abandon his car after hitting the median and a pole, according to suspension paperwork.<\/p>\n

One of the callers said the man \u201cdoes seem drunk\u201d and added that it \u201cseemed like he couldn\u2019t speak\u2026 he\u2019s stumbling when he\u2019s talking.\u201d<\/p>\n

Officers found an SAPD jacket with Carrillo\u2019s name and badge number. Records show the car was registered to Carrillo.<\/p>\n

An hour later, suspension paperwork shows a supervisor was told Carrillo asked an off-duty officer to give him a ride home from Hardburger Park.<\/p>\n

The off-duty officer reported that Carrillo was intoxicated when he got picked up. The officer said Carrillo admitted to getting in an accident after drinking alcohol and left the scene of the crime because he \u201cpanicked\u201d.<\/p>\n

KSAT Investigates reviewed Bexar County court records and found Carrillo has not been criminally charged in the case.<\/p>\n

In an email, SAPD told KSAT the agency investigated the case and forwarded it to the Bexar County District Attorney\u2019s Office.<\/p>\n

KSAT reached out to the Bexar County DA\u2019s office on Friday night and will update this story once we receive a response.<\/p>\n
