Officer Joshua Gutierrez Arrested for Fighting Outside Bar


A school district police officer was arrested after a bachelor party got out of control at a South Side bar.

The officer, 29-year-old Joshua Gutierrez, was arrested at The Steer bar off of Southeast Military Drive. San Antonio Police arrested Gutierrez, who is Northside Independent School District police officer, after he allegedly got into a scuffle with a San Antonio police officer outside the bar as the bachelor party was ending.

According to police, Gutierrez and two of his brothers were asked to leave when the bar closed. The three men then allegedly started yelling at the bouncer as they moved into the parking lot.

San Antonio Police say when their officers arrived, they tried to arrest one of Gutierrez's brothers. According to the officers, Gutierrez then pulled one of the SAPD officers by the shoulder.

"At this point, he's been relieved of duty with pay, pending the outcome of the investigation," explained Captain Brad Mills of the Northside Independent School District Police Department.

Gutierrez has been with NISD as a police officer for nearly five years. Before that, he was a jailer for Bexar County.

"He's been a good officer during that period," Captain Mills told News 4 WOAI. "We haven't had any discipline problems during that period."

Gutierrez was jailed for interfering with the duties of a police officer. He was released on a $800 bond.
