A local man already on probation for theft faces new accusations that he posed as a San Antonio Police Department (SAPD) officer to drum up business for his lawn care company, then never completed the work.
Carlos Elizondo, 44, was arrested in the Victoria area, Texas, two days after missing a court appearance for a misdemeanor theft case in Bexar County. He was transported back to Bexar County, then later booked into the jail, according to Central Magistrate records.
Elizondo's arrest came two weeks after the SAPD North Substation released an advisory warning residents that Elizondo was using his landscaping business, Lawn Enforcement Rescue Services, to "defraud customers of their payments for work not performed."
According to SAPD case files and county court records, Elizondo, as far back as 2014, told potential customers he was an SAPD officer and Bexar County Sheriff's Office Special Emergency Response Team member.
