SAN ANTONIO – A man accused of kidnapping a woman connected to a now-canceled CLEAR Alert was arrested during a raid at a Northwest Side motel, according to San Antonio police.
The raid happened around 10:45 p.m. Wednesday at a Motel 6 in the 9400 block of Wurzbach Road, not far from Interstate 10.
SAPD confirmed it was connected to the CLEAR Alert issued earlier Wednesday for 27-year-old Destiny Rose Ferdin. Police said she had been kidnapped by a former romantic partner from an apartment complex near downtown San Antonio.
Authorities surrounded the location, and a search warrant was obtained after they believed Ferdin and the suspect were there, a SAPD preliminary report said.
A SWAT team entered a room at the motel and arrested 35-year-old Geoffrey Garcia. Ferdin was also found in the room and taken to the hospital for injuries sustained during the kidnapping, police said.
Officers booked Garcia for the kidnapping, and the CLEAR Alert was canceled early Thursday.
Ferdin was also arrested and taken into custody for outstanding warrants.
SAPD said its investigation is ongoing.
