SAN ANTONIO — A warrant had been issued for Achor’s arrest, and he turned himself in to the Bexar County Sheriff's Office that same day. Booking records indicate he was later released on bond. Achor was formally charged with injury to a child—bodily injury—and with abandoning or endangering a child, offenses under Texas law that involve exposing a child to harm by failing to provide reasonable care.
Following his arrest, Achor was placed on administrative duty by the San Antonio Police Department, which is now conducting an administrative investigation into the incident. Achor is assigned to the department’s patrol division and has served with the agency since approximately 2020.
This is not Achor’s first disciplinary issue with the department. In 2024, he was suspended in connection with an on-duty incident in which he and two other officers detained the wrong man after responding to an incorrect address while searching for a domestic violence suspect. The current charges mark a separate matter occurring while Achor was off duty.
A KSAT Investigates analysis identified Achor as the eighth San Antonio Police Department officer arrested in 2026. The San Antonio Police Department is one of the largest municipal police forces in Texas and serves the City of San Antonio and some surrounding areas.
The arrest of an on-duty police officer on charges involving child endangerment raises questions about oversight and conduct standards within law enforcement agencies. With Achor being the eighth SAPD officer arrested this year, the department faces ongoing scrutiny over internal accountability measures.
Administrative investigations following criminal charges are standard procedure for the department, but outcomes can affect both employment status and public trust. The legal definitions under Texas Penal Code §22.041 underscore the seriousness of the allegations, as they involve potential exposure of a child to substantial risk of harm.
