A San Antonio police officer has been indefinitely suspended from the San Antonio Police Department before the resolution of a criminal driving-while-intoxicated case connected to an incident that occurred while he was scheduled to be on duty. Officer David Grant McCall, received the suspension order from Police Chief William P. McManus on January 7, 2026. The disciplinary action removes McCall from duty without pay and effectively terminates his employment unless he successfully appeals through the city’s civil service process. 

Court records show McCall’s criminal case was later resolved in Bexar County Court-at-Law No. 15. On February 4, 2026, he entered a plea of no contest to a misdemeanor charge of driving while intoxicated. The court granted deferred adjudication and placed him on one year of community supervision with several conditions, including education programs and community service. 

Crash During Scheduled Work Shift

According to the disciplinary records, the incident occurred on August 5, 2025, while McCall was scheduled to work a shift from 7:45 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. that day. Surveillance video reportedly showed him leaving his assigned reporting location at 555 Academic Court in San Antonio at approximately 12:27 p.m. without approval from a supervisor. 

Later that afternoon, deputies with the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office were dispatched to Coryell Cove after receiving a report that a vehicle had driven through a neighbor’s yard during what was initially believed to be a medical emergency. When deputies arrived, they found McCall sitting in the front seat of his personal vehicle while emergency medical personnel were evaluating him. 

McCall was transported to Methodist Hospital Westover Hills for further medical evaluation. During an inventory of the vehicle, deputies reported finding unopened containers of alcoholic beverages. Investigators later went to the hospital where a nurse who treated McCall told deputies she could smell alcohol coming from him. 

Blood Test and Arrest Followed Investigation

Investigators obtained a search warrant allowing them to collect a blood sample from McCall. Laboratory results later showed his blood alcohol concentration was 0.238 grams of alcohol per 100 milliliters of blood. The test result recorded in the investigation was nearly three times the legal limit of 0.08. 

Based on the investigation, authorities obtained an arrest warrant. McCall was arrested on August 14, 2025, on a charge of driving while intoxicated. The case was investigated by the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office.  Court records show the case was formally filed in January 2026 in Bexar County Court-at-Law No. 15. McCall later entered a plea of no contest, and the judge granted deferred adjudication on February 4, 2026. 

Court Orders Supervision and Other Conditions

Under the court’s order, McCall was placed on one year of community supervision. As part of the agreement, he must complete a driving-while-intoxicated education course, attend a victim impact panel, and undergo an evaluation through a treatment program designed to address alcohol-related offenses. 

The judge also ordered the installation of an ignition interlock device on a vehicle for part of the supervision period. Additional conditions include paying fines and court costs totaling $770, completing 80 hours of community service, and paying a monthly supervision fee.
