A police officer in San Diego who staged his own suicide and solicited prostitutes while on-duty has faced few consequences for his actions, police records recently made public show.Â
Cesar Alcantara, who resigned from the San Diego Police Department last year, was the target of an internal affairs investigation that found he had engaged in criminal conduct, according to an investigation from inewsource and KPBS. The report comes after the department publicly released a handful of police misconduct files under new state transparency laws.
Police and family court records show that just after Mother’s Day in 2020, Alcantara got into a fight with his girlfriend – who would later become his wife and also worked as an officer on the force. The unidentified girlfriend left their home in Chula Vista to go to the beach alone, enraging Alcantara, who demanded she come home, according to the report. He drunkenly sent her videos and photos, including one photo of him pointing a loaded off-duty firearm in his mouth.
The records show that when his girlfriend returned home, she found her boyfriend pretending to be dead on the floor surrounded by what she thought was blood.

“I’ll never forget walking in there and seeing that,” she told police, according to inewsource.
She ran upstairs at the home after discovering Alcantara was not injured and the blood was fake. Alcantara responded by grabbing the handgun and allegedly shooting it at the floor, according to the report. The girlfriend again thought Alcantara may have committed suicide, and rushed to his side. She began yelling at him when she discovered he was not injured, according to the report. Alcantara told her to stop making noise and turned on the police scanner to see if a neighbor reported the gunshot, according to the report.
