A Kyle woman was charged with multiple felonies after authorities allege she attempted to disarm a police officer who was subduing her during an April 19 incident.
Cynthia Cadena-Stockman, 54, of Kyle, was booked into the Hays County Jail May 4 on one charge of attempt to take weapon from an officer, which is a state jail felony, along with assault of a public servant, which is a third-degree felony. Stockman was also charged with terroristic threat of family/household, which is a Class-A misdemeanor.
According to an arrest affidavit, magistrated by Hays County Pct. 2 Justice of the Peace Beth Smith, authorities were called around 10 a.m. April 19 to the 400 block of West Center Street for a verbal disturbance.
When authorities arrived, the caller, identified as Cadena-Stockman’s mother, said Cadena-Stockman was in a manic state and had taken her 2012 Nissan Versa to an address on Nottingham Loop in Kyle.
Officers also spoke to a witness who told authorities Cadena-Stockman allegedly struck her mother several times in the arm with an open hand, according to the affidavit.
The witness then saw Cadena-Stockman take the keys to her mother’s car and drive away. The witness also heard Cadena-Stockman allegedly tell her mother that if “you send the cops after me, I will slit your throat.”
Officers went to the Nottingham Loop address, where they found Cadena-Stockman barricaded in the bathroom and threatening to harm herself if authorities tried to come in.
According to the affidavit, Cadena-Stockman attempted to exit the rear of the bathroom through a door where an officer was waiting. The officer attempted to taser Cadena-Stockman, but was unable to.
The officer then went after Cadena-Stockman, who was running through the bathroom, before diving on top of her.
According to the affidavit, Cadena-Stockman tried to grab the officer’s side arm and pry it out of its holster. The officer then grabbed her arm with his left and right hands to pull her away from the firearm before she was detained.
According to the affidavit, the officer jammed his pinky on his left hand while trying to keep Cadena-Stockman away from his weapon, which led to the assault of a public servant charge.
Kyle officers presented information to a judge for Cadena-Stockman’s arrest. She was later booked on May 5.
Cadena-Stockman is being held in the Hays County Jail on $15,000 bond.
