Police: Texas Officer Stole Suspects’ Cash, Drugs, Rifle

SAN ANTONIO (AP) — A San Antonio police officer is accused of stealing marijuana, thousands of dollars and a rifle from a couple during a disturbance call.

Police on Friday announced 32-year-old Officer Konrad Chatys has been charged with felony theft by a public servant.

Bexar (bayr) County jail records didn’t list an attorney for Chatys, who was arrested Thursday night and being held without bond.

Investigators say Chatys was dispatched to a reported disturbance involving a man and a woman on New Year’s Eve. The couple say he took the cash, drugs and weapon before releasing them.

The woman later went to a police station to complain. A warrant was issued after police searched the officer’s home.

Chatys, who’s been a San Antonio officer for seven years, is on administrative leave.

  1. Explanation: It’s Texas.

  2. In his defense he will claim he did not “Steal” the items. He merely took them under the preemptive “forfeiture” drug laws.

    Hmmm…you mean these “heroes” aren’t allowed the spoils of their profession?

  4. So this’ll get you fired, at least. But apparently, the only way shooting a black guy will get you fired is if you are caught on camera field dressing the corpse.
