SAN ANTONIO – A detective with the San Antonio Police Department was issued an indefinite suspension in October after he engaged in an unauthorized high-speed chase, suspension paperwork revealed.
Leroy Medlin Jr. was issued an indefinite suspension, which is the Police Department’s equivalent of terminating one’s employment, after he chased a driver who took off during a traffic stop on April 28.
A police report for the incident states Medlin conducted a traffic stop on the driver of a black truck around 2 a.m. after the license plate number did not match the vehicle. Medlin wrote in the report that when he informed the driver of the discrepancy in the registration information, the driver told him he didn’t own the vehicle. Additionally, when Medlin asked the driver for his license, the man said he did not have it on him.
