In a recent court development, a San Antonio teenager, Erik Cantu Jr., who was involved in a shooting incident with a San Antonio police officer in 2022, has been granted probation in two felony evading arrest cases. Cantu pleaded no contest in the 187th District Court, facing charges of fleeing from SAPD officers in a white BMW on two separate occasions.
Judge Stephanie Boyd has ordered Cantu to serve seven years of deferred adjudication, pay a $2,000 fine, and complete 200 hours of community service. Additionally, Cantu’s GPS monitor will be removed, and his license suspended.
Despite the outcome, both Cantu and his attorney, Brian Powers, chose not to comment further on the case after the hearing.
The former officer involved in the shooting, James Brennand, has been charged with aggravated assault by a public servant and is expected to appear in court on Sept. 13, according to court records.
