SAN ANTONIO — An Olmos Park police officer accused of shooting a man after a failed attempt to swap sexual partners while off duty has resigned from the force, Olmos Park Police Chief Fritz Bohne confirmed Tuesday.

Frankie Salazar, 29, had been on administrative leave with pay since his Nov. 30 arrest on charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon in the shooting of Jesus Edward Guitron that same day.

He was released on bail not long after his arrest.

Guitron, who was hit multiple times and taken to San Antonio Military Medical Center, was discharged on Sunday, a hospital spokesman said.

Bohne said he had no problems with Salazar since he was hired in January. He said he was shocked that his officer ended up arrested and accused in a shooting.

“It's a 4 a.m. call you never want to get,” Bohne said Tuesday.
