A 41-year-old man was arrested Friday in connection with an alleged March 4 assault inside the Freddy’s at the Quarry that left an employee with serious injuries, including a fractured rib and a spinal fracture. Investigators say surveillance video and an arrest warrant were key to identifying and locating the suspect, and court records allege he repeatedly struck the worker, causing injuries that required medical treatment.
Affidavit lays out the attack
The Bexar County arrest affidavit identifies the suspect as 41-year-old Patrick Wilbanks and states that he slapped an employee, threw a drink, then grabbed the worker and slammed him onto a table during the March 4 encounter inside the Freddy’s. According to the affidavit, the assault caused a fractured rib and a fracture in the victim’s spine, and detectives relied on surveillance video to identify and find Wilbanks. Those details appear in the arrest paperwork, according to KENS5.
Where it happened
The incident unfolded at the Freddy’s location in the Alamo Quarry Market, which the chain lists at 255 E. Basse Road in San Antonio. Locals know the Quarry as a North Side hub of shops, restaurants, and theaters, and that Freddy’s address is posted on the company’s store locator page, per Freddy's.
Legal implications
Wilbanks is charged with aggravated assault causing serious bodily injury, an offense prosecuted under Texas Penal Code Section 22.02. Depending on how prosecutors move forward and what the evidence shows, aggravated assault cases involving serious injury are typically pursued as felonies. In Texas, a second-degree felony carries a potential sentence of two to 20 years in prison and a possible fine of up to $10,000 under state law. For the statutory language on aggravated assault and felony punishment ranges, see the Texas Penal Code: Texas Penal Code §22.02; Texas Penal Code §12.33.
