Two San Antonio police officers repeatedly had sex on duty, which sometimes affected the way they responded to 911 calls, police say.

Officers Rebecca Martinez and Eman Fondren were both suspended indefinitely in April for disabling their GPS units and having sex with each other while on duty, according to suspension paperwork obtained by the Express-News through an open records request.

They appealed the decisions by Chief William McManus and will likely appear before an arbitrator this year.

According to the suspension documents, Martinez and Fondren disabled the GPS units on their vehicles two times in October 2015 and met while on duty, once in the rear parking lot of a Home Depot store and another time at a private residence.

During the investigation, Martinez and Fondren denied that they had sex while on duty, but investigators said they did not believe either officer.

On the same day the two met at the private residence, Martinez was dispatched to a disturbance with a knife call and waited 20 minutes from the time she was dispatched to begin driving to the scene.

Once she arrived, according to the documents, she did not activate her vehicle’s video recording device, violating department rules. Fondren also didn’t activate his mobile video recording device on two occasions, police say.

Martinez and Fondren were two of about 20 San Antonio police officer who were indefinitely suspended last year, out of the 2,400 officers on the force.
