San Antonio police lieutenant suspended for being ‘wasted’ and armed in hotel lobby

A San Antonio police Lt. Paul Mendoza has been suspended for 45 days without pay for being “completely wasted” and “stumbling” while carrying a firearm in the lobby of a downtown hotel, disciplinary records show. Meanwhile, the San Antonio Police Department also suspended two other high-ranking officers without pay for failing to respond to a call from hotel staff to remove Mendoza, who was off duty at the time, according to city records. Additionally, an SAPD detective was disciplined for failing to turn on his body camera as he picked up Mendoza from the hotel, his disciplinary documents state.
