Law investigates fry pan, golf club attacks in Ruby Ranch

Two aggravated assaults with a deadly weapon were reported in the Ruby Ranch subdivision near Buda last week, authorities say.


In the first incident, a 14-year-old girl allegedly wielded a frying pan and injured two of her siblings.


At around 8:30 p.m. on April 13, deputies were called out to the 500 block of West Bartlett Drive, where they detained the teenage girl, a Hays County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson said.


Following an argument, the girl grabbed the frying pan and proceeded to hit a 14-year-old girl and 16-year-old boy. The girl sustained a possible broken arm while the boy received minor injuries, the spokesperson said.


The next day at around 11:50 p.m., deputies were called out to the 100 block of Creekside Drive, where a 28-year-old man allegedly used a golf club to injure another 28-year-old man, who received minor injuries.


No arrests have been made and the case is still under investigation. The incidents do not appear to be related, authorities say.


Man jumped outside Kyle bar

A 34-year-old man was beaten Saturday night as he walked outside Hitter’s Bar & Grill on Center Street in Kyle, police say.


The victim and his friend were leaving the bar when someone struck him in the back of the head with a beer bottle and knocked him unconscious. Two men then drove their knees into the victim and began to kick him as he lay on the ground, a Kyle Police Department spokesperson said.


The victim sustained non-life threatening lacerations to the head and was transported to Brackenridge Hospital in Austin, the spokesperson said.


His friend had gone to get help and could not provide any descriptions of the two male suspects. The incident is still under investigation.


Kyle man arrested for sexual assault of granddaughter

A 56-year-old Kyle man was arrested last week for the sexual assault of his 15-year-old granddaughter in 2008, authorities say.


Steve Guzman, of West Second Street, has been charged with aggravated sexual assault, a first-degree felony, and indecency with a child by sexual contact, a second-degree felony. The charges stem from a one-time incident in 2008 involving his granddaughter, a Hays County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson said.


No other details of the incident were released. Guzman bonded out of Hays County Jail on April 14 after he posted bonds worth $40,000, court records say.
