A former San Antonio police officer who shot 17-year-old Erik Cantu in the parking lot of a San Antonio McDonald’s on Oct. 2 is behind bars and charged after turning himself in on Tuesday evening, according to Police Chief William McManus.
James Brennand, 27, is charged with two counts of aggravated assault by a public servant, a first-degree felony.
The police chief said he met with members of the Homicide Unit several times since the teen was shot to determine if charges would be filed against Brennand. He said they worked for several days to draft an arrest warrant for a judge to sign.McManus said the two charges are in connection with the shooting of the teen and because there was a passenger in the vehicle at the time.
