Garansuay, 45, has since been placed on administrative duty. The detective, a 19-year SAPD veteran, is assigned to the department’s Street Crimes Gun Unit.
Bexar County Adult Detention Center records indicate Garansuay was officially booked into the jail at 12:21 p.m. Friday. He fulfilled his $1,000 bond and was subsequently released from custody at 1:31 p.m., jail records indicate.
According to a KSAT analysis, Garansuay is the second San Antonio police officer who found themselves on the other side of the law in 2025.
The first was Ruben Vasquez, 52, back in February. Vasquez was also off duty when Bexar County sheriff’s deputies arrested him on a family violence charge at his home in northwest Bexar County.
SAPD said it is conducting a criminal and administrative investigation into Garansuay’s arrest.
