A teenager brutally battered his girlfriend then used a knife to carve his name into her forehead, police said.

Jackub Hildreth, 19, was arrested and charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon for the alleged attack on his girlfriend, 22-year-old Catalina Mireles, on December 5 in San Antonia, Texas.

Mireles reportedly told police Hildreth held her by the neck and punched her in the face ten times during a fight about their relationship. Hildreth then ‘carved his name with a knife’ into Mireles’ forehead, according to the arrest affidavit.

She reportedly said she believed Hildreth was going to kill her, telling police ‘he was going to put me in the closet until he figured out what he was going to do with my body,’ Mireles said, according to KSAT.




The brutal attack left Mireles’ jaw broken in three places. She also suffered facial bruising and has scarring on her forehead that appears to spell the word ‘Jack.’

Mireles said that she had been dating Hildreth for three weeks after meeting him on Facebook.

‘Don’t trust everybody you think you might know,’ she said.

Mireles’s mother, Juanita Lopez, said she is relieved that Hildreth is now behind bars, and added her daughter ‘was scared for her life, he was going to kill her.’

Hildreth reportedly fled the scene before police arrived after the attack, but authorities tracked him down and arrested him on Friday. He was previously wanted for burglary assault, according to court records.

He is being held in a local jail on $75,000 bond. According to public records, Hildreth has been previously convicted of assaulting and choking a family member and unlawful carrying of a weapon.

Lopez said: ‘I don’t want him to get out again because he’s going to hurt someone else. She’s my baby, I didn’t expect this to happen.’

Hildreth is reportedly scheduled to appear in court next month.
