The former San Antonio police officer accused of feeding a homeless man a sandwich stuffed with dog feces is now the chief of police of the small South Texas town of Benavides.

One-time SAPD officer Matthew Luckhurst was appointed top cop in the town of about 1,100 people on June 1, Benavides City Clerk Tiffany Bazan told the Current.

Benevides City Council discussed and voted on appointing Luckhurst as the town’s new chief of police on April 30, public records show.

Luckhurst was terminated from the San Antonio Police Department in 2020 following two poop-related incidents.

In 2016, SAPD investigators accused Luckhurst of giving a homeless man a sandwich filled with dog shit while on patrol.

San Antonio chalk artist Lakey Hinson broke the story about Luckhurst’s latest promotion. »
