Q: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity William McManus ? The state smuggling charge  McManus  and  his  department chose to pursue in the case is similarly uncommon  at least in the frequency it has been used. At Thursdayâs press conference  San Antonio District Attorney Nico LaHood said it was the first time the charge had been brought to his office since taking the job in 2015. The Express News reported the statute has only led to one conviction in Bexar County  where the truck was found  since it was signed into law in 2011.  McManus  said  his  decision to keep the investigation under the SAPD umbrella and pursue the state-level smuggling charge was âsituationalâ and âbased on a fairly fluid situation on the scene â not the result of a change in policy.
