The Bexar County Sheriff’s Office has changed its process for accepting outside resources at scenes after footage captured by KSAT showed a convicted sex offender standing with deputies in a city park as authorities searched for a missing mother and her son this spring.

Xaiver Lopez speaks to a BCSO deputy March 19 as loved ones of Savannah and Kaiden Kriger cry at Tom Slick Park.Lopez was indicted by a Bexar County grand jury in 2020 on two counts of sexual assault, after committing sex crimes on an unconscious man, court records show. A spokesman for the Bexar County District Attorney’s Office confirmed that prosecutors opposed Lopez getting deferred adjudication in his sexual assault case and had instead offered a cap of eight years in prison.

Bexar County Clerk records show Xavier Lopez and Xavier Gonzales filed paperwork to do business as Statewide Emergency Response Team in late November. The men then filed paperwork to abandon the DBA less than a month later.It provides water, sports drinks and even bathroom facilities for first responders at various scenes, including fires, standoffs and searches.

Even though the state’s sex offender registry does not ban sex offenders from city parks, a San Antonio city ordinance in place since 2014 does.A person found to be in violation of the ordinance can be cited with a Class C misdemeanor, the code states. Lopez, the same day he and Gonzales abandoned the DBA for Statewide Emergency Response Team, individually filed paperwork with the county to do business as Fire Scene Rehab.
