Ex-Pct. 2 deputy claims ousted captain tried to cover up training accident
SUMMARY: Former Bear County Precinct 2 Captain Mark Garcia is fighting for reinstatement amid allegations of misconduct during his tenure. Testimony from ex-deputy Gabriel Morad accused Garcia of attempting to cover up a training incident where bullet fragments ended up in Morad’s forehead, and he allegedly instructed deputies to shred paperwork in 2019. Garcia’s attorney denies these claims, asserting that Garcia served honorably. Garcia, indicted alongside former Constable Michelle Baranta, received immunity in exchange for testifying against her in a criminal case; Baranta is appealing her felony tampering convictions. The Civil Service Commission will decide Garcia’s fate.
A former reserve deputy with the Bexar County Precinct 2 Constable’s Office testified Monday that ex-captain Marc Garcia took steps to cover up a training accident and later ordered the deputy and other members of the agency to destroy records.
