The San Antonio Police Department has fired an officer accused of taking weapons and ammunition during a city councilman-sponsored gun buyback event outside the Alamodome late last year, discipline records obtained by KSAT Investigates show.

Shortly after the event concluded, Bryan Naylor, an aide to Councilman Courage, reported seeing an SAPD officer assigned to assist with the program place two weapons in his personal vehicle, discipline records show. He also told investigators he had placed two rifles and a World War II-era handgun in his personal vehicle to “safeguard” them and to separate weapons that potentially had historical significance, records show.
Dashboard-camera footage showed Mahula wrap a handgun in a jacket and then place the jacket in his personal vehicle, according to records. “One of these officers reported that Officer Mahula responded to their inquiry by placing a finger over his lips, and the other officer reported that Officer Mahula made a facial expression that the officer interpreted as ‘be quiet.’ Both officers stated that Officer Mahula later showed them a U.S. Government-issued Colt handgun inside of a case/holster similar to the one observed in the COBAN video,” Mahula’s termination paperwork states.
