Troubled Past: Erik Cantu Arrested for Burglary After Previous Legal Issues
Erik Cantu, a survivor of a shooting incident involving a former San Antonio police officer in 2022, has been arrested again, this time for burglary. The 20-year-old is accused of stealing a tablet belonging to Emily Proulx, with whom he shares a child, and using it to message her friends. The burglary took place shortly after Cantu was sentenced to eight years of probation for a previous probation violation. Cantu was caught on surveillance footage outside Proulx's residence and seen moving her tablet towards his own home.
Witnesses reported seeing Cantu on Proulx's patio before the burglary occurred. Proulx's friends received messages from her tablet, followed by calls and messages from Cantu. Proulx, who was with Cantu during the 2022 shooting incident involving a police officer, had previously been arrested for theft in a separate incident. Cantu now faces charges of burglary of habitation, marking his sixth arrest.
In conclusion, Erik Cantu's recent arrest for burglary adds to his legal troubles following his involvement in the 2022 shooting incident. The allegations of stealing a tablet and messaging the owner's friends have led to charges of burglary of habitation, making this Cantu's sixth arrest.
