A St. Mary’s University School of Law student won a civil judgment in court against her ex-boyfriend last month only to get arrested on a theft warrant minutes later, footage captured by KSAT Investigates shows.

The Sept. 15 arrest marked the latest legal entanglement for Melanie Hagner, 35, who was also arrested on Aug. 30 for violation of a protective order, court records show.

Hagner eventually told the court she would waive the request to get the money back that she loaned Valdez to bond out of jail. The report also stated that both Hagner and Valdez took part in the disturbance and that an eyewitness claimed Hagner could have left but did not.he opened Hagner’s garage door after she drove them to her home and ran inside with his truck keys.Valdez, who had no previous criminal record, picked up the fourth criminal charge in January after Hagner showed up at his apartment while he was on house arrest, San Antonio Police records show.

Hagner and Valdez had arranged to exchange personal belongings outside following the Sept. 15 hearing, as Judge Patterson told both of them she hoped the hearing would conclude their relationship. “Please stop violating my privacy and get out of here. Get out of here with the camera,” Hagner told a KSAT photojournalist.

The attorney’s son also witnessed Hagner throw a credit card out of the window of her vehicle, according to the affidavit. After firing Hagner, as the attorney retrieved work belongings from Hagner’s home, she noticed that items fraudulently purchased with her credit card were being used on Hagner’s redecorated front porch, the affidavit states.She faces a charge of theft between $750 and $2,500, a Class A misdemeanor.

The attorney appointed in Hagner’s violation-of-a-protective-order case was allowed to withdraw as her attorney after filing a motion on Sept. 18 in which she asked to be taken off the case. Valdez told KSAT it’s likely the items were taken months ago and may have even been stolen while Valdez was in jail for the charges that were later rejected.

Hagner has not been criminally charged in the storage unit burglary or unauthorized use of vehicle cases and both incidents remain under investigation, an SAPD spokesperson told KSAT.
