SAN ANTONIO — A man is facing numerous charges after officials say he assaulted his ex-girlfriend, then barricaded himself inside a home on the northwest side of town.
It happened around 3 p.m. Sunday afternoon in the 25000 block of Principles View near Boerne Stage Road.
The 31-year-old victim told police that Hector Martinez, 34, picked her up from her home and brought her to the location to visit his mother. He then reportedly choked her during an argument. She left the home with her three children and called 911 for help.
Martinez initially refused to surrender when BCSO deputies arrived. Crisis negotiators were called in to try and de-escalate the situation. After several hours of negotiations, Hector peacefully exited the home and surrendered to deputies.
He was taken into custody for multiple charges, including assault and continuous family violence, as well as multiple warrants.
