(Seguin) — A Seguin man is behind bars after allegedly threatening someone with a handgun and leading police on a pursuit early this (Tuesday) morning.
Just after midnight, officers were called to the 900 block of Matamoros Street after a caller reported that a man had pointed a gun at them, threatened to shoot, and reportedly fired a round before fleeing in a black sedan.
Police identified the suspect as 43-year-old George Aguilar of Seguin. Officers quickly spotted the vehicle and attempted a traffic stop, but Aguilar drove off, leading officers to the 1200 block of Jefferson Street.
When officers arrived at the residence, 54-year-old Nancy Casarez of Seguin attempted to drive away in the same black sedan but was stopped and detained.
Aguilar refused to surrender, prompting police to call in the Alamo Area Metro SWAT Team. After several hours, Aguilar was taken into custody without incident.
Aguilar now faces charges of Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon (two counts) and Evading Arrest. Casarez was charged with Hindering Apprehension or Prosecution. Both were booked into the Guadalupe County Jail.
The Seguin Police Department thanked the Guadalupe County Sheriff’s Office for assisting with the pursuit and securing the area during the standoff.
