Trial for South Bend officer canceled after plea agreement reached

The trial for a South Bend police officer has been canceled after a plea agreement was reached.

24-year-old Emanuel Garcia was arrested in February after investigators say he got violent with his girlfriend.

Now, Garcia has reached a plea agreement on charges of domestic battery in front of a child less than 16 years old and resisting law enforcement and drawing a weapon.

Five other charges were thrown out as part of the deal. He will be sentenced on September 9.
