Cantu’s early December arrest was his latest brush with the law since he was shot multiple times by then-San Antonio police officer James Brennand in a McDonald’s parking lot in 2022.
The burglary incident happened less than a month after Cantu was sentenced to eight years of probation for violating the terms of his probation from two evading arrest cases last year.
After Cantu’s arrest, prosecutors moved to revoke his probation.
Brennand, who has been charged with aggravated assault by a public servant, is scheduled to next appear in court in mid-April.
