SAN ANTONIO — A former Bexar County deputy fired in April after a  use-of-force investigation in which authorities say he could be seen on video assaulting an inmate was taken into custody this week on new allegations that he shut off another deputy's body camera during the incident. 

Brandon Doege is now being charged with tampering with evidence – a third-degree felony – and official oppression. He turned himself in without incident Thursday afternoon after the new arrest warrant was filed. 

The use-of-force incident occured in May of 2019, officials with the Bexar County Sheriff's Office said, leading to an internal investigation and a separate criminal case. 

If convicted of both charges, Doege, 27, would face up to 11 years in prison and a $14,000 fine. He had been with BCSO since January of 2016 before being fired on April 27.
