The former president of the San Antonio firefighters' union allegedly sent a series of emails and texts to four fire department employees, threatening to release personal information about them if they applied for the open fire chief position, according to arrest records released Wednesday. Christopher A. Steele , 57, was arrested on suspicion of stalking, a third-degree felony, in San Marcos on Friday. He was released the next day on a $3,000 bond.
Former San Antonio firefighters union president accused of stalking The blackmail investigation began March 17 of this year, after a fire department employee called police to report that she'd received two emails and a text message purportedly from a private investigator named Frank. Police later determined that the email and text message were linked to Steele, according to the records. Steele did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
