A man who worked as a Bexar County jailer when he allegedly assaulted an inmate in 2020 is going to trial in May.
Judge Velia Meza in the 226th District Court rejected a plea deal for Eduardo Sanchez, who was charged with aggravated assault causing serious bodily injury. In court on Thursday, Meza told attorneys and Sanchez that she didn’t find evidence substantiating his guilt.The Bexar County District Attorney’s Office indicted Meza in April 2021 for “intentionally, knowingly and recklessly” causing serious bodily injury to Hector Lopez, an inmate, while he was on duty, the office said in a news release.
During the struggle, Salazar said Sanchez punched Lopez with a pair of handcuffs, causing a serious injury to one of Lopez’s eyes. The assault sparked an internal investigation, Salazar said. While the investigation was ongoing, Sanchez was allowed to continue working for the agency.After he was indicted, the sheriff’s office moved to fire him, Salazar said. Sanchez worked for the sheriff’s office starting in 2018.
