Another one down,
\nAnother one down,
\nAnother APD officer bites the dust…<\/p>\n

Second firing in two days. Why did this one get the ax?<\/p>\n

Police detained Officer Manuel Garcia about 7:15 p.m. on Feb. 2 at Fiesta Gardens on Comal Street in East Austin, where his car was parked in a dark, unlit parking lot known for drug use and prostitution, the memo says.<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

…<\/p>\n

The woman told police that she and Garcia had \u201cdated\u201d several times and that they had agreed she would perform oral sex for $10, the memo says. Garcia was arrested for prostitution.<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

…<\/p>\n

During an interview with internal affairs, Garcia said he lied to officers when he told him he knew the woman, and that he actually had never seen her before when she suddenly jumped into his truck and refused to get out, the memo says.<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

But he denied having an arrangement for the woman to perform oral sex on him, \u201cdespite evidence to the contrary, including but not limited to, the ten dollar bill that was found folded up in the air conditioning vent of his truck when he was arrested,\u201d the memo says. Garcia said officers \u201cput that into\u201d the woman\u2019s mind and led her on.<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
