A Lubbock County man accused of threatening his girlfriend on Facebook and attacking her with a pocket knife Tuesday was indicted on a second-degree felony count of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

On May 18 Samuel Torrez reportedly went to his girlfriend's house and asked her for a ride to see his daughter at a nearby hospital. She agreed and as they were leaving, they began arguing and he accused her of being unfaithful, according to the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal. She said he threw beer bottles at her and accused her of being unfaithful before they got in her car.

While she was driving, he allegedly said he was going to cut her as he pulled out a pocket knife and swung at her. She raised her arm to block the attack, which left a 3- to 4-inch wound on her hand, she said.

She said Torrez then dropped her off at the hospital, where she initially told a nurse she cut her hand on glass while cleaning. She eventually told them that her boyfriend attacked her.

Following the incident, she filed a police report where she claimed he sent her a photo of himself holding a gun and threatened to shoot at her house.

Torrez was arrested May 30 at the Carriage House motel in Lubbock.

He was also charged with a third-degree felony count of being a felon in possession of a firearm. He faces up to 20 years in prison. His felony stems from a 2005 incident, when he pleaded guilty to a first-degree felony count of delivery of a controlled substance.
