A now-viral video posted on X, formerly Twitter, detailing McWhorter’s claims about the now eight-months-old case has racked up 300,000 views since being posted Monday. In the clip, McWhorter — a Florida resident — accuses San Antonio cops of slow-walking an investigation into a local woman’s claims that a suspect struck her twice at a park after she accused him of mistreating his dog.
On Tuesday, McWhorter’s accusation prompted San Antonio Police Chief McManus to respond. In a tersely worded tweet, McManus pointed out that SAPD had concluded its investigation and recommended charges to the Bexar Country District Attorney.
“I can confirm that the case involving the dog incident at the park was investigated and filed with the District Attorney’s office back in [December] of last year,” McManus wrote. “It helps to know now the facts!”
Indeed, the DA’s office confirmed to the
Current
via email that SAPD sent the case in December, adding that a prosecutor is “actively examining the case for potential prosecution.”
