NORTHEAST– Sheriff’s deputies, in a press conference last Friday, said that a horrendous case of spousal abuse ended when the man responsible was apprehended in a traffic stop on Aldine Mail Route.
Gregory Longoria Jr., 39, was charged with felony aggravated assault of a family member, and is being held without bail.
Sheriff’s officers said that the ordeal started at noon on Wednesday, when Longoria allegedly kidnapped his estranged wife, and held her for 17 hours. During that time he allegedly physically abused her, beating and burning her, and photographing her nude.
The woman was allegedly taken from her parents home on Wimberly Street, after he threatened to kill the parents. He then took her to his apartment on Wayforest Drive, north of Greens Road, where the abuse took place.
On Thursday morning, the woman escaped by convincing Longoria she needed to leave for a job interview.
Later in the day, at 6:45 p.m. Sheriff’s deputies saw him leave an apartment near Aldine Mail Route, and arrested him.
