La tarde del miercoles 11 de febrero recuperó su libertad Luis Flores, 45, el hombre acusado de usar una navaja para herir los ojos de su esposa, la semana pasada, segun archivos del Departamento del Sheriff del condado de Maverick.

Los cargos en su contra son violencia familiar y asalto agravado con arma mortal, asi se observa en el libro de arrestos del Sheriff.

Estos sucesos violentos ocurrieron la semana pasada.

Tom Schmerber, Sheriff del Condado de Maverick, dio a conocer que Flores recuperó su libertad y se le dieron ordenes de restricción para que no se acerque a la mujer que sufrió la agresión.

Una compañía de fianzas local se encargó del proceso para liberar a Flores.

La fianza inicial de 1 millon de dólares que se le dio a Flores fue reducida a 100 mil dólares, por lo cual pudo salir de la carcel pagando el 10%, o sea 10 mil dólares y deberá presentarse en la fecha que se realice el juicio criminal.

El Sheriff tambien informó que la mujer agredida ya fue dada de alta del hospital de San Antonio donde estaba bajo tratamiento medico. 

Segun el reporte la mujer perdió la vista en uno de los ojos.    Las autoridades estan comprometidos a luchar contra la violencia familiar dado que a nivel local se han incrementado estos casos.

Man Accused of Stabbing Eyes of Spouse Out on Bail

On Thursday afternoon, Luis Flores, 45, the man accused of cutting the eyes of his wife last week, has been released from the Tom Bowles Detention Center according to records at the Maverick County Sheriff's Department.

The charges facing Flores are Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon according to police records.

These violent acts occurred last week.

Tom Schmerber, Maverick County Sheriff, released information stating that while Flores has been released, he has been specifically ordered to stay away from the victim in the stabbing, his wife, Aracely Flores.

A local bail bonds company took charge of arranging his release.

The bond set of $1 million was reduced to $100,000 which allowed him to pay a sum of $10,000.00 to get out of jail and he is thus obligated to appear in court on the date which will be set by the Maverick County District Attorney's Office and District Court when his criminal trial will begin.

The sheriff also informed The News Gram that the victim in the stabbing has also been released from a San Antonio Hospital and she has in fact lost the vision in one of her eyes.
