The San Antonio Police Department has penalized yet another officer by suspending him without pay.
SAPD suspended Officer Austin Lee Benson for behavior during a September 6, 2022 burglary investigation that colleagues described as “confrontational” and “unprofessional,"Benson, who was off-duty when he responded to the call, argued with a male subject on the scene until an on-duty officer intervened"before it escalated," the station reports, citing records.
Benson, who was hired in 2019, was suspended from March 18 to April 16, according to KSAT. The station said it didn't receive requested suspension records until months after police officials handed down the punishment to Benson.
