San Antonio Cop Arrested for Assaulting Girlfriend, Caused Head Injuries

Officer Stephen Melton, 41, of the San Antonio Police Department (SAPD) has been placed on administrative leave after being arrested Sunday morning while he was off-duty. Melton was charged with a class A misdemeanor of assault causing bodily injury.

SAPD says:

“Preliminary details indicate that Melton and his girlfriend had an argument. During the argument, Melton pushed his girlfriend, causing her to fall to the ground and sustain visible injuries to her head.”

The case will be taken to the Bexar County District Attorney’s Office, and Internal Affairs will conduct an administrative review. When those findings are completed, the appropriate discipline will be administered, KSAT News reports.

SAPD Chief William McManus said this concerning the arrest:

“I am disturbed at the allegations made against this off-duty officer. I’m satisfied with the quick work of the SAPD patrol officers and detectives who immediately began investigating and quickly made an arrest once probable cause was developed.”

Melton has been with SAPD for 11 years, the department said. He is assigned to patrol at the East Side substation.

Support our Mission

Help us build a database of bad cops

For almost 15 years, PINAC News has remained active despite continuous efforts by the government and Big Tech to shut us down by either arresting us for lawful activity or by restricting access to our readers under the pretense that we write about “social issues.”

Since we are forbidden from discussing social issues on social media, we have created forums on our site to allow us to fulfill our mission with as little restriction as possible. We welcome our readers to join our forums and support our mission by either donating, volunteering or both.

Our plan is to build a national database of bad cops obtained from public records maintained by local prosecutors. The goal is to teach our readers how to obtain these lists to ensure we cover every city, county and state in the country.

After all, the government has made it clear it will not police the police so the role falls upon us.

It will be our most ambitious project yet but it can only be done with your help.

But if we succeed, we will be able to keep innocent people out of prison.
