The latest arrest happened around 9 p.m. Monday at the Gold’s Gym on Interstate 10 near Woodstone on the Northwest Side.
Authorities said undercover officers arrested Cantu on an active warrant after he allegedly tried to run. He is now also facing an additional charge of evading arrest.
Cantu first made headlines in 2022 when he was shot multiple times by former San Antonio Police officer James Brennand in a McDonald’s parking lot.
The shooting drew widespread attention and sparked conversations about police use of force.
Since then, Cantu has faced a series of legal issues, leading to multiple arrests on charges including burglary and evading arrest.
