Matthew Luckhurst, the San Antonio police officer who was effectively fired for providing a feces sandwich to a homeless man, was given a second indefinite suspension, according to police records released this week.

In June, just a month after the incident with the sandwich, police say Luckhurst defecated in the women’s bathroom stall at SAPD’s Bike Patrol Office and spread a brown substance with the consistency of tapioca on the toilet seat, giving the appearance that there was feces on the seat.

Officer Steve Albart was also involved in the prank, according to the records. He was originally given an indefinite suspension, but Chief William McManus reduced it to 30 days without pay. Albart finished serving that suspension Jan. 19.

Albart, who sang opera at his cadet’s graduation ceremony, according to media reports, was hired two years ago.

At the time, Albart told KSAT he felt the academy prepared him for life as a cop, especially in light of increased scrutiny of law enforcement after Michael Brown was fatally wounded by an officer in Ferguson, Missouri.

Luckhurst, a five-year SAPD veteran who had been assigned to the department’s bike-patrol unit, was originally given an indefinite suspension in October after he provided a feces sandwich to a homeless man earlier in the year.

Luckhurst is appealing both suspensions. His lawyer did not immediately respond for comment Thursday.
