I find it almost unbelievable that this cop has now been arrested twice for stealing apparently large amounts of ammo. It also appears that he’s not trying to sneak it under his coat, but using his cop status to illegally purchase it.

San Antonio officer faces second theft-related charge

A San Antonio police officer was arrested on theft-related charges Wednesday night for the second time in eight days.

SAPD spokesman Sgt. Javier Salazar said in a statement that the officer is a three-year veteran who works with Central Patrol.

Although police would not identify the officer,David Nieto, 31, was listed on the Bexar County Central Magistrate Office arrest list as of 11:07 p.m. Wednesday.

The record shows he was arrested at 6 p.m., facing a charge of destroying/concealed writing, otherwise known as retail fraud.

On May 5, Nieto was arrested and accused of trying to steal “a large amount” of ammunition from a sporting goods store, police said.

The story says the cop was off duty, but not under suspension. I’d say it’s about time we stop letting cops investigate themselves, eh?
