A San Antonio police officer was taken into custody Monday and booked into the Bexar County Adult Detention Center on a misdemeanor family violence charge tied to an allegation more than a year old, with court records already setting the case on a path toward arraignment.
Booking, Bond and Court Assignment
According to KSAT, 38-year-old Grant Wesley Ruedemann was booked into the Bexar County Adult Detention Center just after 11:30 a.m. on May 19, 2026, and a judge set his bond at $3,500. Court records show the arrest stems from an incident reported on May 20, 2023, and the case is being handled as a Class A misdemeanor. It has been assigned to Bexar County Court-at-Law 13, with an arraignment listed for June 18, 2026.
Officer Background
Public payroll records identify Ruedemann as an active City of San Antonio police officer, with his name appearing in municipal payroll databases. That employment listing matches city records previously reviewed by local reporters and public-data sites such as GovSalaries, which list him on the city payroll in a law enforcement role.
Fifth SAPD Bust This Year
KSAT reports that Ruedemann is the fifth San Antonio Police Department officer booked on criminal charges so far this year, a growing tally that has intensified public focus on how the department handles misconduct and accountability. As those cases move through local courts and internal reviews, they continue to draw scrutiny from across the city.
Legal Context and Next Steps
The charge in this case is a Class A misdemeanor. Under Texas law, that level of offense can carry up to one year in county jail and fines of as much as $4,000, though actual outcomes often depend on factors such as plea agreements, probation, or other negotiated resolutions. Ruedemann is scheduled to appear for arraignment on June 18, and, like any defendant, remains presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in court.
