The San Antonio City Council is facing a slew of shockwaves Thursday after one councilman was taken into custody for his involvement in a hit-and-run crash and another was censured following a recent angry confrontation.
District 10 Councilman Clayton Perry is suspected of being involved in a hit-and-run crash Sunday night. He turned himself in on Thursday and paid a $2,000 bond for failure to stop and provide information, a Class B misdemeanor. The charge is punishable by up to 180 days in jail.
The Jeep had been traveling the wrong way on Redland Road when it crashed head-on with a Honda Civic, according to police. The Jeep then reversed and took off at high speed, a witness told SAPD. Police said the witness saw Perry taking items out of the Jeep and dropping them on the driveway before returning to the crash scene. The witness helped lead officers to where the Jeep had come to a stop.
With police unable to prove that Perry was behind the wheel while intoxicated, the case is not being investigated as a DWI.Perry was absent from the council’s B-session and a Veterans Day function on Wednesday he was expected to attend.Councilman Mario Bravo censured He’s not able to be removed by the council, barring certain criminal convictions. And it’s unlikely voters will petition for a recall election due to his short remaining time on council.“On the morning of September 15th, I became emotionally overwhelmed and betrayed my own values. I did not handle myself well that day and I stand by my public apology.
Bravo was pushing to use $42.5 million in unexpected CPS Energy revenue for climate-related initiatives, but got upset after learning Sandoval was not supportive of his plan.
