A San Antonio man was arrested after allegedly assaulting his wife while she held their 6-month-old and threatening to kill her, according to an arrest affidavit. The document states he repeatedly slapped her and hit her with a belt, and that one strike caused her head to collide with the infant’s head, making the baby scream. The man was later booked on felony counts linked to the incident.
According to an arrest affidavit obtained by FOX San Antonio, the victim told deputies that Logan Alexander Perdigone was "heavily intoxicated" during the assault. She reported that he "repeatedly slapped her" and "struck her with a belt," leaving visible injuries. The affidavit says Perdigone threatened to kill her and at one point grabbed a firearm, reportedly telling her, "because this is the only way you are going to stop me." She also told deputies she felt trapped, since Perdigone fell asleep with her vehicle keys in his pocket, and that she did not call 911 until he left for work the next morning.
Records from the Bexar County Central Magistrate Search list Perdigone’s booking and provide an official record of his arrest and processing. The magistrate entry includes his name and a booking number tied to the June arrest.
Charges and what they mean
Perdigone is facing three counts: aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, abandoning or endangering a child, and terroristic threats against a family member, according to FOX San Antonio. Under Texas law, aggravated assault can be charged when a person uses or exhibits a deadly weapon during an attack, and abandoning or endangering a child may be charged as a felony when a child’s safety is put at risk. The Texas Penal Code sets out those offenses and their potential penalties, which vary based on the alleged conduct and any additional factors.
What's next
The case will move through the local court system, where prosecutors and judges will determine the next steps, including any indictment, bond conditions, or further hearings in the magistrate process. As with any criminal case, the charges are allegations, and Perdigone is presumed innocent until proven guilty in court.
