SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS — A San Antonio police officer has been fired for allegedly giving a fecal sandwich to a homeless man. <br /> <br />The incident allegedly took place in May when San Antonio police officer Matthew Luckhurst, a five-year veteran of the department, was assigned to bike patrol. <br /> <br />According to San Antonio local news outlets, Luckhurst claimed he picked up some dog feces and made a sandwich out of it. Then, he reportedly boasted to colleagues about putting the excrement-filled sandwich inside a styrofoam container before placing it next to a homeless man. <br /> <br />Other officers were rightly disgusted and reported Luckhurst to the SAPD Internal Affairs division. The report was made in July, according to San Antonio Express-News, and Luckhurst was later fired. <br /> <br />However, Luckhurst is appealing his termination, with his lawyer, Ben Sifuentes, claiming his client was only joking in his retelling of the incident, but never actually carried out the act. <br /> <br />The SAPD has so far been unable to locate the homeless man who was the alleged victim of the prank.
