Arrest and case status
Corey Leonard King, 44, was arrested Wednesday evening at a home in far west Bexar County after deputies executed an arrest warrant, according to the Bexar County Sheriff's Office, as reported by KENS 5. Deputies with the agency's Organized Crime Unit took him into custody without incident. KENS 5 reported that King faces four charges—three felonies and one misdemeanor—and had recently posted bond in an alleged-assault case.
Allegations in the court records
According to WOAI, court records allege that King was inside his former girlfriend's San Antonio home on Barron's Den when she returned with her two children. The woman told authorities that he threatened to kill her and the children while holding a kitchen knife. She got the children out of the home and left; no injuries were reported. WOAI also reported that King moved into the attic after deputies arrived.
Emergency call and surrender
A 911 hang-up call from the residence prompted the initial law-enforcement response, according to The Daily News Now. WOAI reported that King later surrendered to authorities. The information cited in the original reports did not specify the bond amount for the latest arrest or whether a protective order had been served before the incident.
