The Texas police officer who gave the homeless man a feces sandwich lost his job for the second time in a year.

The mayor said there had been a lot of emails from locals who were upset that Luckhurst had been re-employed.

Matthew Luckhurst was let go from his job as a police officer in Floresville.

Stricter hiring policies are being implemented by the city manager. The Reserve program is being worked on by him as well.

An internal investigation by the San Antonio police found that Luckhurst had placed feces between slices of bread and given it to a homeless man while on duty.

The local government code that prevents officers from being disciplined for conduct occurring over 180 days ago is what led to the police officer winning the appeal.

He was given a second suspension after an investigation found that he failed to flush feces down a toilet in the women's restroom at the downtown bike patrol office.

At a hearing, Luckhurst apologized for the incident and said it was a prank.

He did not win his appeal. The "egregious nature of Luckhurst's conduct aimed at women" was cited as the reason for the decision to fire the chief.
