LEON VALLEY – Bexar County prosecutors have dismissed all criminal charges against a Leon Valley city councilman accused of assaulting the city’s then-police chief early last year.
A felony charge of assault of a public servant and a misdemeanor charge of interfering with public duties filed against Joshua Stevens were dismissed Friday, Bexar County court records confirm.
The dismissals come just over two months after a Bexar County grand jury indicted Stevens. He was accused of elbowing the chest of then-Leon Valley Police Chief Joseph Salvaggio during a skirmish at city hall in January 2020.
