Assistant City Attorney Michael Urbis speaks with attorney Robert Leonard and arbitrator Ruben Armendariz before a hearing on former police officer Elizabeth Montoya’s appeal of an indefinite suspension from the San Antonio Police Department.A police officer who was indefinitely suspended for punching a pregnant woman in the face is fighting for reinstatement with back pay and benefits.
Montoya’s attorney, Robert Leonard, said evidence will show that Montoya’s firing was unjust and inappropriate, asking the arbitrator to overturn Chief William McManus’ decision and to issue other discipline if necessary. On the day of the incident, Montoya and several officers were alerted to the 1200 block of San Luis Street for a disturbance in which the woman and at least one other suspect were accused of burglarizing a home, according to the footage.
Officers then attempted to place the woman in the back of a police vehicle, but she kicked Montoya a second time.
