Rio Hondo 63-Year-Old Woman Arrested for Assaulting Boyfriend

On July 23, 2024, at approximately 21:42 hours, Sheriff’s Deputies responded to an assault call at the 31000 block of Juarez Rd., Rio Hondo, TX. Upon arrival, deputies spoke with the victim, who reported that his girlfriend, 63-year-old Irma Bradshaw, arrived at his home uninvited. She entered the residence without permission and demanded $100 that she claimed was owed to her.

The victim stated that Bradshaw became enraged, proceeded to destroy kitchen appliances, including breaking a part of the refrigerator and damaging the kitchen oven. He also reported that Bradshaw attempted to strike him on the head with a “molcajete” but he blocked the strike with his left hand. Bradshaw then allegedly used the car keys to stab him on the forehead.

Deputies observed injuries on the victim and damage to his property, which corroborated his account. A witness present during the incident also confirmed the victim’s version of events. Despite the victim’s reluctance to press charges, deputies arrested Bradshaw to prevent further violence. Bradshaw faces charges of Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon under T.P.C. 22.02 (a)(2) (Dating Violence), a 2nd Degree Felony. She was transported to Carrizales Rucker Detention Center, booked for the charges, and is awaiting arraignment.
