Overview
- Officer Bless Achor turned himself in Wednesday after a warrant was issued and was booked on charges of injury to a child causing bodily injury and child endangerment before posting bond and being released.
- An arrest affidavit published by KSAT says the alleged June 6 incident involved Achor and his 12-year-old daughter and describes bruising and a temporary loss of vision in one eye.
- Texas Rangers interviewed Achor on June 17 and executed a search warrant at his residence on July 8 as part of the criminal inquiry, according to the affidavit and court records.
- SAPD has placed Achor, a six-year department veteran assigned to patrol, on administrative duty while the department runs its own probe separate from the Rangers' criminal investigation.
- Local reporting counts Achor as the eighth San Antonio officer arrested this year, a pattern that could prompt further scrutiny of department oversight and personnel practices.
