A Cibolo, Texas, man was arrested after police said he held his girlfriend inside his home, assaulted her, took her phone, and threatened to kill her and her family if she tried to leave.
Adrian Anthony Longoria, 32, was arrested Sunday after officers responded to a reported disturbance at a Flying J Travel Center in the 1800 block of North Foster Road in the San Antonio area. Witnesses told officers Longoria was chasing a woman and threatening her if she did not get back into a vehicle, details from police accounts show.
Police said the woman had visible injuries, including a black eye and bruising on several parts of her body. Longoria reportedly denied that an altercation had occurred and told officers the injuries were from a previous fight.
Officers Responded to a Travel Center
The investigation began after officers were called to the Flying J Travel Center for a reported gun-related disturbance. Police said witnesses described a confrontation between Longoria and the woman in the parking lot.
The woman later told officers the incident at the travel center was connected to what she said had happened earlier at Longoria’s home. Police said her account led investigators to a kidnapping allegation.
Officers detained Longoria after speaking with the woman and witnesses. He was later booked into the Bexar County Adult Detention Center.
Woman Said She Was Held for Days
The woman told police she had been dating Longoria for only a few months. She said she went to his home after leaving rehab near the end of May.
About two days later, she tried to leave, police said. The woman alleged that Longoria blocked the front door, pointed a gun at her, and threatened to kill her if she tried to escape.
Police said the woman reported that Longoria told her, “If you try to leave or escape, I’ll kill you and your family.”
Phone Was Allegedly Taken
The woman told officers Longoria took her cellphone, leaving her unable to contact relatives or call for help directly.
Police said she eventually used Longoria’s phone to contact her sister. She reportedly told her sister about the alleged abuse and confinement.
Investigators said the woman reported being held inside the home against her will for several days. She also alleged that Longoria assaulted her during that time.
Kidnapping Charge Filed
Longoria was charged with kidnapping and held on a $50,000 bond, public records cited in local reporting show.
Under Texas law, kidnapping involves intentionally or knowingly abducting another person. The Texas kidnapping law defines abduction and restraint as key parts of the offense.
A charge is not a conviction. Longoria is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
Case Moves Through Bexar County
The case is expected to move through the Bexar County criminal court system. Prosecutors will determine how to proceed, and Longoria will have the right to respond to the allegations.
Police have not said whether additional charges are expected. More information could become available through future court filings or hearings.
The allegations also place renewed attention on intimate partner violence in the San Antonio area. Public safety resources list domestic abuse warning signs that can include threats, isolation, control over communication, and intimidation.
What Happens Next
Investigators have not released further details about the woman’s condition or whether a firearm was recovered. The case remains active as it moves through the legal process.
Officials encourage anyone facing immediate danger to call 911. For people trying to leave an abusive situation, official safety planning guidance recommends preparing trusted contacts, emergency documents, transportation options, and a safe place to go.
For now, the case rests on the allegations police documented after a public disturbance at a San Antonio-area travel center. A court will decide what evidence can be proven and what happens next for Longoria.
