SAN ANTONIO – A Bexar County Sheriff’s Office deputy was suspended earlier this year after a bullet he accidentally fired from his service weapon flew through the wall of his residence and struck his neighbor’s house, according to suspension records.

MP Mark Rodrigue was suspended for three days in February following the September 2023 incident.

According to records, KSAT could find no evidence that anyone was injured during the shooting, which occurred after a Glock Model 45 accidentally exploded.

Rodrigue has been with the BCSO for six years.

The disciplinary records against Rodrigue were included in a trove of deputy suspension records that the BCSO released to KSAT last week.

BCSO deputy suspended for 45 days for repeated use of offensive language

A BCSO officer was suspended for 45 days in April after using offensive language while serving as a cadet in the agency’s Straight to the Streets program.

According to the records, Deputy John Sanchez behaved “unprofessionally” despite his instructors repeatedly advising him not to use inappropriate language.

According to the documents, Sanchez was allowed to use the 38 days of his administrative leave to make up for all but seven days of his suspension.

Straight to the Streets is a BCSO program that allows recruits to bypass work at the Bexar County Jail and enter the police force directly after completing training.

Deputy accused of assault did not properly restrain inmate

A BCSO officer was suspended for 30 days in late June after an investigation found he improperly restrained an inmate before a physical altercation, records show.

Assistant Deputy Roberto Munoz told investigators that the inmate punched him in the face after Munoz removed his handcuffs.

Records show that officers from the Special Emergency Response Team (SERT) responded and the inmate was examined by prison medical staff.

Munoz wrote in his incident report that the inmate was shackled at the hands and feet. However, according to the records, video footage taken by a SERT member showed that the inmate was not wearing shackles.

A second inmate filed a separate complaint, stating that he witnessed Munoz and two other officers attacking the inmate.

According to records, the investigation found that Munoz did not obtain authorization from a supervisor to inspect the inmate, did not turn on his body-worn camera and did not prepare an incident report for the inspection.

Munoz was originally offered parole for the violations, but records show the sentence was reduced to 30 days after a hearing.

KSAT could find no record of Munoz ever being charged with the assault allegations.

Munoz has been with the BCSO for three years.
