SAN ANTONIO \u2013 An off-duty Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent is accused of assaulting his former neighbor after a lengthy dispute turned violent last month, San Antonio police records and cell phone camera footage show.<\/p>\n
Agent Tim Harrison was captured on camera June 10 walking onto the driveway of a Northwest Side home belonging to the parents of Cody Sparks and then striking Sparks.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe walked onto my property, eyes locked, ready to rumble, which I did not expect,\u201d said Sparks. <\/p>\n
Sparks said Harrison punched him twice in the head before he was able to tackle Harrison into the home\u2019s garage door.<\/p>\n
\u201cFrom there I had no choice. I grabbed his testicles, and I squeezed them,\u201d said Sparks.<\/p>\n
Both men are heard in the recording yelling to people off camera to call 911.<\/p>\n

The door sustained structural damage, and more than a month after the incident, dried blood remains on the driveway.<\/p>\n
An Animal Care Services report obtained by KSAT Investigates states Harrison was bitten on his leg by one of the family\u2019s dogs and suffered four puncture wounds to his calf.<\/p>\n
Harrison was treated at the scene by paramedics, the ACS report states.<\/p>\n
\u2018We used to kind of be friends\u2019<\/p>\n
Sparks said he used to live at his parents\u2019 home, but even after moving away, he returns almost daily to walk the family\u2019s two dogs.<\/p>\n
He said his relationship with Harrison turned sour about 18 months ago. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe used to kind of be friends. We were neighbors,\u201d said Sparks. \u201cHe likes to stop and intimidate me, so he\u2019ll stop in the middle of the road whenever I\u2019m walking.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sparks said he began to record his interactions with Harrison after Harrison spit on him.<\/p>\n
In one incident, recorded by Sparks in May 2025, Harrison challenged Sparks to fight him in the street after accusing him of revving his engine at Harrison and Harrison\u2019s child.<\/p>\n
\u201cCome on down, Cody. Mutual combat. I\u2019m right here buddy,\u201d Harrison is heard saying on the recorded video.<\/p>\n

The argument came weeks after Sparks was arrested at a nearby residence for tampering with evidence and drug possession.<\/p>\n
The tampering case was dismissed in February, and Sparks recently entered pretrial diversion in the drug case in hopes of completing the program and getting the charge removed from his record.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou and your druggie buddies will be found again. I\u2019ll make sure of it,\u201d Harrison said in the May 2025 recording, as he appeared to reference Sparks\u2019 legal issues.<\/p>\n
The night of June 10, Sparks said he began recording Harrison after the man called Sparks a \u201cpu***\u201d and told him to \u201cgo get your mommy.\u201d<\/p>\n
The footage shows Harrison walk onto the driveway as Sparks repeatedly tells him not to come onto the property.<\/p>\n
Officers called to the scene interviewed both Harrison and Sparks.<\/p>\n
Harrison told the officers that he walked to the home to speak with Sparks\u2019 mother and that Sparks approached him and \u201ctook a swing\u201d at him.<\/p>\n
The claim contradicts what was recorded on Sparks\u2019 cell phone.<\/p>\n
SAPD\u2019s incident report states that the footage shows Harrison was the first to make physical contact.<\/p>\n
Weeks after the fight, Harrison has not been criminally charged. <\/p>\n
An SAPD spokesperson told KSAT the case remains under investigation.<\/p>\n
\u201cI feel that he feels he\u2019s above the law, that he\u2019s invincible and that he can do whatever he wants to anyone, even trespass and beat someone up on their own property,\u201d said Sparks.<\/p>\n
Sparks\u2019 dog was required to be quarantined for 10 days after biting Harrison\u2019s leg.<\/p>\n
Sparks confirmed to KSAT that after the incident, he was contacted by ICE\u2019s Office of Personal Responsibility.<\/p>\n

ICE officials have declined to say what, if any, action has been taken against Harrison since June 10.<\/p>\n
An ICE spokeswoman told KSAT via email, \u201cU.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement does not comment on ongoing investigations.\u201d<\/p>\n
A woman who answered the door at Harrison\u2019s home spoke with KSAT at length but said she would need to consult with the family\u2019s attorney before commenting on the record.<\/p>\n
Since the start of 2025, SAPD has responded 19 times to incidents involving three neighboring homes on the same street: Harrison\u2019s home, the home next door and Sparks\u2019 parents\u2019 home.<\/p>\n
Ten of the incidents were for threats, disturbances and disturbances with neighbors.<\/p>\n
SAPD earlier this month declined to release the incident reports from the disturbances, claiming in a letter to the Texas Attorney General that some of them are related to an ongoing criminal investigation while another one is related to a closed criminal investigation that did not end up going to court.<\/p>\n
