Hopkins County deputies arrested Roberto Cruz Estrada on Monday after responding to a report of an assault at a residence in the 5000 block of FM 69N in Como, Texas.
Deputies arrived just before 1:00 PM and made contact with the victim and Estrada, who are in a dating relationship and live together. According to authorities, the incident began as an argument about the possibility of Estrada using drugs. During the dispute, Estrada allegedly shoved the victim, causing her head to strike a wall.
Deputies noted slight swelling on the victim’s forehead, consistent with her account. Estrada initially dismissed the situation as a marital issue but later admitted to the assault after being read his Miranda rights.
Estrada was arrested and charged with Assault Causing Bodily Injury. The victim sustained minor injuries and is expected to recover.
