He had reportedly been sending her text messages saying that he would \u201cshoot up\u201d her parents\u2019 house if she did not go back to him.&nbsp;On Wednesday evening, the woman, 40, was in the kitchen of a North Side home where she had been staying.<\/p>\n<p>At some point, Lara rushed into the kitchen with a machete and cornered her. He began hitting her head and back with the side of the machete, the affidavit states.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The man reportedly drew a gun, pointed it at her head, then shoved her through the front door, she told officers. He also threatened to kill her dog if she ran away, authorities noted.<\/p>\n<p>Lara allegedly told the woman not to make a scene and pushed her into his vehicle.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThen, as they left the home, Lara\u2019s vehicle ran out of gas, the affidavit states. He pulled into a gas station, which was not identified in the affidavit, and tried to calm the woman,\u201d the report added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The man apparently told her \u201cit wasn\u2019t over and it was going to be a lot worse,\u201d according to the affidavit.<\/p>\n<p>However, she asked Lara to get her a drink so he would go to the rear of the store, police explained.<\/p>\n<p>When he was gone, she exited the car and entered one that was nearby. The woman told the driver about the kidnapping and implored him to transport her to her parents\u2019 home.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe man sped away and let the woman use his phone to call 911.&nbsp;Investigators said she had a laceration to her left collarbone, scratches on her right arm and bruising to her left arm,\u201d the <em>Express-News<\/em> report said.<\/p>\n<p>According to the National Domestic Violence Hotline website,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thehotline.org\/identify-abuse\/domestic-abuse-warning-signs\/\">signs<\/a> of abusive behavior regarding one\u2019s partner included intimidating them with threatening looks or actions, threatening to harm or take their children or pets, and intimidating them with weapons.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A man who allegedly kidnapped his former girlfriend was taken into custody one day after the woman escaped with assistance from a stranger, the San Antonio Express-News reported Thursday. \u201cGilberto &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":45,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1178689","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1178689","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/45"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1178689"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1178689\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1178689"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1178689"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1178689"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
