AUSTIN, Texas — An Austin man has been sentenced to 11 years in prison for a violent assault on a former girlfriend in her North Austin apartment last August, according to the Travis County District Attorney's Office.

On Thursday, a jury found Isidro Mendez-Felipe, also known as Sergio Mendez, guilty of burglary of a habitation with the intent to commit assault.

The victim had broken off a relationship with Mendez-Felipe after he was arrested for assaulting her a little less than four months earlier.

Police were called to her apartment on Georgian Drive in the early hours of August 31 and immediately spotted a broken window. Body camera footage showed Mendez-Felipe and the victim struggling over what appeared to be a rifle.

The officers ordered him to drop the weapon, which he did. He then tried to escape by jumping off a second-floor balcony. The officers were able to capture him in the parking lot.

Afterward, officers found that the weapon was actually a pellet gun designed to look like a rifle.

Testimony revealed that Mendez-Felipe had broken into the home and threatened to kill the victim, her six children and her sister-in-law.

Judge Julie Kocurek announced Mendez-Felipe's sentencing on Friday.
