SAPD officer suspended for sexual relationship with woman he arrested

SAN ANTONIO -- A San Antonio police officer served a 30-day suspension earlier this year after he admitted to a romantic relationship with a woman he had arrested twice for felony drug possession, according to the San Antonio Police Department.

SAPD released internal-affairs paperwork for Officer Leroy Diaz Tuesday -- more than four months after the KENS 5 I-Team requested it.

Diaz, a patrol officer for North Substation, admitted to having a four-month relationship with Breanna Mitchell, from October 2012 to January 2013.

Mitchell, 20, was arrested in June 2012 and again August 2012 for felony drug possession.

KENS 5 spoke with Mitchell Wednesday.

Mitchell said the sexual relationship with Officer Diaz started days after her August 2012 arrest.

"He had me meet him close by and I would go wait for him," Mitchell told KENS 5. "Every chance we got, we would see each other."

Mitchell said Officer Diaz expressed concern that he would get into trouble for dating her, but continued the relationship anyways.

According to his suspension paperwork, Diaz ended the relationship in late January 2013.

On Feb. 4, Cibolo Police found Mitchell asleep in her car across the street from Diaz's home.

Officer Diaz requested a criminal-trespass warning against Mitchell, which Cibolo police granted.

In March, an officer at North Substation said he was working on paperwork when a car pulled into the parking lot just before 2 a.m. A woman matching Mitchell's description told the detective, "I want Ofc. Leroy Diaz's clothes out of my place."

Both incidents happened after Diaz was already under investigation.

Diaz's suspension paperwork shows he served his suspension from June 1 to June 30, 2013.

Chief William McManus did not respond to the I-Team's request for an interview Wednesday.

Mitchell said her relationship with Officer Diaz actually helped her clean up her life.
