SAN ANTONIO \u2013 Erik Cantu did not appear in court on Thursday for a hearing after his recent arrest. <\/p>\n
Court staff initially told KSAT on Monday that Cantu\u2019s next court appearance would be on Thursday. <\/p>\n
His next indictment hearing is on March 6, court staff told KSAT on Thursday. <\/p>\n
Cantu, who survived a shooting by a former San Antonio police officer in 2022, has had frequent run-ins with the law. <\/p>\n
The Bexar County Sheriff\u2019s Office told KSAT that Cantu, 20, was taken into custody on Monday by court security deputies on two motion to revoke probation warrants for evading. <\/p>\n
He was initially scheduled to appear in court on Monday. However, the hearing was later canceled. <\/p>\n
Cantu arrested for a sixth time<\/p>\n
According to an affidavit, Cantu allegedly stole the tablet of a woman with whom he shares a child and used it to message her friends. <\/p>\n
Cantu was charged with burglary of habitation, the affidavit said. <\/p>\n
However, in court records obtained by KSAT, the alleged burglary victim asked the court and the Bexar County District Attorney\u2019s Office to drop the charge. <\/p>\n
The woman, identified as Emily Proulx, said in the documents that she is \u201cnot fearful of him (Cantu) harming or threatening\u201d her. <\/p>\n
Proulx also requested that Cantu\u2019s bond conditions be reduced and that his house arrest and GPS monitoring requirements be removed, records indicate. <\/p>\n
Cantu avoids prison time, sentenced to 8 years of probation<\/p>\n
The burglary incident happened less than one month after Cantu was sentenced to eight years of probation for violating the terms of his probation from evading cases last year. <\/p>\n
If Cantu violates conditions within those eight years, his sentence would balloon to 10 years in prison.<\/p>\n
