Matthew Luckhurst, the San Antonio police officer who was fired for providing a feces sandwich to a homeless man in May, admitted to doing so, according to SAPD documents released Tuesday.

Previously, Luckhurst’s attorney Ben Sifuentes told the San Antonio Express-News that his client joked about providing a sandwich to a homeless man but didn’t actually do it and that his client was the subject of unfair persecution.

Sifuentes was not immediately available for comment Wednesday.

Luckhurst was indefinitely suspended in October after an Internal Affairs investigation found he violated department procedures. He is appealing.

The officer, who was on the bike patrol, told investigators he found some feces and a piece of bread, then put them into a discarded food container near the homeless man, assuming the man would pick up the container and throw it away.

Later, Luckhurst said, he returned to the area and found the bread and feces on the ground, then put them in the trash.

“This has taught me to stop acting childish and making stupid baseless jokes,” Luckhurst wrote. “I need to stop the pranks and juvenile jokes to get arise (sic) or reaction from fellow officers and friends.”
