Domingo Estrada of Meridian is being held at the Erath County Jail after his arrest in connection with a stabbing in Stephenville. Beneath the Surface News reported that Estrada was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and that no bond had been set when its report was published: Beneath the Surface News.
What is known about the case
The outlet, citing a Stephenville Police Department press release, reported that officers were called to a disturbance in the 200 block of South Devine Street at about 8:30 p.m. Tuesday. Police found an injured adult male, who was taken by air to a hospital in the Fort Worth area for further treatment. The investigation was described as active.
The available report does not state the victim's current condition, identify a recovered weapon or describe any relationship between Estrada and the injured man. It also does not say when the Erath County District Attorney's Office might present the case to a grand jury.
Charge and reported prior matters
Texas Penal Code Section 22.02 identifies aggravated assault involving a deadly weapon as a second-degree felony in circumstances covered by the statute, according to FindLaw's text of the Texas Penal Code. The statute's classification does not determine the outcome of Estrada's case, and he has not been convicted in connection with the stabbing based on the information available here.
Beneath the Surface News also reported that Estrada's criminal history dates to a 2007 arrest for driving under the influence. The outlet listed additional matters involving public intoxication, resisting arrest, assault of a public servant and burglary of a habitation. The available information identifies these as reported arrests or charges, not established convictions, so it does not show whether any sentencing enhancement would apply if Estrada were later convicted.
