Cop assaults boyfriend, a fellow officer, TX officials say. ‘Busted my eye open’
A police officer has been indefinitely suspended after Texas officials received reports that she assaulted her boyfriend who was also an officer, according to a report.
Cassidy Costa was a sworn officer with the San Antonio Police Department when the accusations were made in December, according to the newly released disciplinary records. Her suspension took effect on April 30.
Text messages between Costa’s boyfriend and another officer indicated the two were involved in a physical altercation, according to the report.
“You know how stupid it is that I had to go to work and lie about how I got a black eye?” the boyfriend said in texts to a co-worker.
The officer said “she busted my eye open,” referring to Costa, officials said.
“She sometimes shoves her hands in my mouth and pulls down in my lip from between my lip and gums to so I can stop talking,” the boyfriend said in text messages about Costa, according to the report.
Her boyfriend was also indefinitely suspended after he was accused of lying to investigators about the assault, an April disciplinary report and KSAT said.
He said the relationship was not physical but included “a lot of arguing,” the report said. He later texted a fellow officer saying he couldn’t tell the truth, according to officials.
No criminal charges have been filed against Costa, according to court records.
