Bexar County deputy arrested for assaulting inmate, tampering with evidence

Deputy David Mauricio Dominguez of the Bexar County Sheriff's Office has been arrested and charged with assaulting an inmate on February 3, after allegedly instructing the inmate to meet him in a restroom where he attacked him. Following the incident, Dominguez tried to conceal evidence by washing blood off the inmate's clothing and removing bed sheets. Despite initially denying the altercation, he later admitted to engaging in a physical confrontation, while claiming the inmate had attacked him first. Multiple inmate testimonies contradicted his account, leading to his arrest on charges of assault causing bodily injury, official oppression, and tampering with evidence. Dominguez was immediately terminated from his position due to the severity of the allegations. This incident highlights ongoing concerns regarding deputy conduct within the Bexar County Sheriff's Office.
