SAN ANTONIO – The San Antonio Police Department said one of its officers was arrested Thursday and charged on suspicion of driving while intoxicated (DWI), a Class B misdemeanor.
In a release, a department spokesperson said Raymond Ramos III, a four-year veteran of SAPD, was taken into custody while he was off-duty. He has since been placed on administrative duty.
According to an SAPD preliminary report, officers were dispatched just before 3 a.m. to a home in the 9200 block of Rhoda Avenue for what was described as a “major accident” with a “single motor vehicle.”
Ramos had a half drunken bottle of liquor in his front right pocket, according to a warrant obtained by KSAT, and smelled strongly of alcohol.
Bexar County online records show Ramos, 25, was arrested by SAPD and booked into the Bexar County Adult Detention Center.
Jail records show Ramos was released on bond Thursday afternoon.
The department said it is conducting separate criminal and internal investigations into Ramos’ arrest.
According to a KSAT Investigates analysis, Ramos is the sixth SAPD officer arrested this year.
