JACKSONVILLE, Texas — A Jacksonville man has been arrested after injuring a woman and abandoning a child.
Danny Porras, 22, is charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon/family violence and abandoning/endangering a child without intent to return. He currently resides in Cherokee County Jail.
According to a spokesperson for Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office, the agency was notified by Jacksonville Police of reports of an individual lying in the roadway. Jacksonville Police and Fire arrived on scene to observe a woman critically injured lying in the roadway. She was transported to a local hospital and later flown to a Tyler hospital.
During the same time frame, an individual reported criminal mischief to his vehicle to Jacksonville Police, which occurred on the same street the woman was found critically injured on.
Deputies and investigators responded to both locations, and determined Porras was involved in a disturbance with his spouse. During the disturbance, Porras allegedly knowingly or recklessly injured the woman with his vehicle.
A 2-year-old child was left unattended inside the residence, CCSO said. The victim is now in stable condition and her identity is being withheld.
