A teenager is facing multiple felony charges after a police chase ended with the teen hitting a Bexar County Sheriff’s Office patrol vehicle causing severe injuries to a K-9 deputy.
Camillus Augustine Galvan, 18, is accused of leading BCSO deputies on a chase around 11 a.m. onDeputies deployed tire spikes during the chase and Galvan swerved to avoid them, causing him to crash into the deputy’s patrol vehicle, knocking the deputy’s vehicle into the deputy, according to an arrest warrant affidavit.
When deputies caught up with Galvan and the juvenile suspect in the cornfield, the juvenile suspect was wearing the red sweater. Both were taken into custody and the juvenile was charged as the driver of the suspect vehicle.show Galvan was charged with evading arrest on May 26 and had his bond set at $25,000. He was released on bond on June 3.
He said Galvan was the driver and made him put on the red sweater because he was a juvenile and deputies “would not charge him with anything.”The affidavit states that Galvan admitted to evading BCSO deputies and crashing into the patrol unit while trying to avoid the tire spikes. He further told deputies that he made the juvenile suspect wear his sweater because he believed the juvenile wouldn’t be charged.Galvan was arrested Wednesday on additional charges stemming from the chase, including first-degree felony aggravated assault against a public servant, and two third-degree felony charges for evading arrest with a vehicle and failure to stop and render aid.
