A Texas man is facing serious allegations after reportedly threatening his girlfriend with violence if she attempted to leave his residence.
Adrian Anthony Longoria, aged 32, was taken into custody on Sunday following reports of a disturbance at a truck stop in San Antonio, Texas. According to a report from the San Antonio Police Department, obtained by local ABC affiliate KSAT, officers were dispatched to the Flying J Travel Center. Witnesses there claimed Longoria was pursuing his girlfriend with a firearm, making threats to kill her if she refused to enter his vehicle.
Upon locating the woman, police observed that she had a black eye and multiple bruises across her body. Longoria, however, denied any involvement in the assault, asserting that the injuries resulted from a “previous fight.”
Police interviewed the woman, who revealed she had been in an “intimate” relationship with Longoria for several months. She recounted moving in with him at his Cibolo, Texas home after leaving a rehabilitation center at the end of May. She claimed that mere days after her arrival, she attempted to leave, but Longoria prevented her.
The report further detailed a disturbing account where, as the woman approached the front door to leave, Longoria allegedly blocked her path, aimed a gun at her, and warned, “If you try to leave or escape, I’ll kill you and your family.”
Police said Longoria held the woman at his home against her will for several days, during which time he assaulted her and refused to let her leave. He also took her phone from her. The woman told police that she used Longoria’s phone to contact her family.
Longoria was arrested and charged with kidnapping. He is currently in custody at the Bexar County Adult Detention Center, where he is being held on $50,000 bond. His next court date was not publicly available.
