Investigators have arrested a 31-year-old Donna man accused of kidnapping his ex-girlfriend during a jealous rage.

Hidalgo County Justice of the Peace Jaime “Jerry” Muñoz arraigned Evodio Bautista, 31, of Donna on Monday.

At about 3 a.m. Sunday, Bautista went to a home near Edinburg, according to information provided by the Hidalgo County Sheriff’s Office. Bautista fired a rifle, wounding a man in the arm, and kidnapped his ex-girlfriend.

“Though the course of the investigation, Hidalgo County sheriff’s investigators were able to locate the suspect and the female victim around Mile 11 north of Victoria, where they did recover a rifle,” said Deputy Jenna Palacios, a spokeswoman for the Sheriff’s Office.

Bautista is charged with aggravated kidnapping, a first-degree felony, and attempted capital murder, a capital felony.

He’s also charged with indecency with a child-sexual contact, a second-degree felony. Palacios said that charge stemmed from a separate incident.

The judge set bond at $550,000.

Bautista remains at the Hidalgo County jail and couldn’t be reached for comment.
