SAN ANTONIO — Authorities said a woman, who investigators say was forcibly taken from a downtown location early Wednesday morning, was found and the CLEAR Alert was discontinued.

The woman was found after a SWAT raid at a northwest-side motel late Wednesday night. The suspect, identified as 35-year-old Geoffrey Garcia, was taken into custody.

The raid happened just before 11 p.m. at the motel off Wurzbach Road and I-10. Police have not yet released official details, but a tip to KENS 5 indicated officers were searching for a suspected kidnapper and victim inside one of the rooms.

Authorities said SWAT deployed a flashbang while forcing entry.

The victim was taken to a local hospital. Authorities have not said what led up to the operation.
