Officer Xavier Hutchinson was placed on indefinite suspension without pay on April 15 following internal investigations.
SAN ANTONIO — A San Antonio police officer was placed on indefinite, unpaid suspension last month after breaking a slew of agency rules and protocols last fall, according to disciplinary records.
Xavier Hutchinson’s future with the San Antonio Police Department is now in question after he was hired in April 2021, per city records. SAPD records accused him of being insubordinate, lying to supervisors, leaving work early without authorization and behaving negligently at a crime scene.
He’s also accused of posting TikToks while on-duty and featuring himself and other uniformed personnel. Despite being warned to remove those posts and refrain from posting any more in October, he was found to have posted three more TikToks by early November, disciplinary records state.
One of the videos shows multiple officers in uniform and standing near their patrol units. In another, a uniformed officer is seen flipping off the camera with her middle finger.
“The content included hashtags such as #police, #viral, #sanantonio and #fyp (‘For Your Page’),” records state. “Based on a review of the videos, Officer Hutchinson is visible in each video and the recording perspective appears consistent with the videos being self-recorded.”
Meanwhile, on Oct. 9, 2025, records state Hutchinson failed to act when a detained suspect was found to have an outstanding Municipal Court warrant. On that same day, as well as on Oct. 24, he also allegedly “ended his assigned tours of duty early without authorization.”
Records also stated that he sent a message to another officer on Oct. 9 reading, “Dipping to my off duty.” His police terminal was disconnected a minute later.
When asked later in the month about why he was repeatedly late to work, Hutchinson told an SAPD sergeant he was working off-duty assignments, per records. But that sergeant later reported he believed Hutchinson was lying.
Then, on Nov. 7, Hutchinson allegedly violated SAPD protocols while responding to a sexual assault call. Upon arriving, he was told by the handling officer to guard the suspects. Instead, records state, he “allowed both suspects to re-enter the crime scene and allowed one suspect to re-enter the actual room where the alleged sexual assault occurred.”
Later, he allegedly brought the alleged suspects to the area of the apartment complex near to where the victim was and then left the scene without authorization.
Hutchinson was placed on indefinite suspension on April 15.
