SAN ANTONIO -- Nine San Antonio police officers are being accused of displaying inappropriate behavior while executing a search warrant Tuesday evening.
Two women said they were getting ready for bed Tuesday when police -- nine SAPD and three Leon Valley officers -- entered the home of Carolyn and Lindsey, who asked that their full names not be revealed. Police said they were searching for a man named Randy along with hidden drugs, the women said.
Both women said they were forced to get dressed in front of the officers. The search warrant took about two hours to execute, the women said, and the officers harassed them because of their sexuality.
"They said they like kinkier women because they're quirkier in bed," said one of the women. "An officer said this."
No drugs were found inside the home, both women and San Antonio police said. SAPD Chief Bill McManus said an investigation has already been initiated into any inappropriate actions by his officers. The women said they plan on filing a formal complaint Thursday.
