SAN ANTONIO — Police arrested a man who shot at officers after threatening a woman outside of Whiskey's bar early Wednesday morning.
It all started around 12:30 a.m. at Callaghan Road near Loop 410.
Police said Daniel Valdez, 25, punched a woman in the face and fired shots in the bar's parking lot. When officers pulled up, Valdez was holding a gun to the woman's head. Police said Valdez fired at officers, jumped in a vehicle and continued shooting while he fled.
Police said the chase lasted for nearly an hour. KENS 5 obtained video from a witness that shows more than a dozen patrol cars following Valdez.
Eventually, Valdez stopped above Evers Road on Loop 410 after deputies put down spike strips.Even then, police said Valdez tried to make a run for it. He ran down the exit ramp and into a school parking lot before he was caught and tazed by police.
George Holzhaus is the General Manager of Whisey's. He said Valdez never stepped inside his bar.
"It's very frustrating because it's a spillover from a place next door to us," Holzhaus said. "We had nothing to do with it. We've been in business for 47 years. We never had anything like this happen here."
Valdez is charged with two counts of Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon, three counts of Aggravated Assault Against a Public Servant and one count of Evading Arrest.
He's in the Bexar County Jail on a $600,000 bond.
