COLDSPRING, Texas – A man was arrested after allegedly assaulting his ex-girlfriend in the Coldspring area, according to the San Jacinto County Sheriff’s Office. Deputies responded to a reported assault in progress and found a female victim who was visibly distraught and injured. The victim had returned home from the grocery store to find her residence ransacked. As she attempted to contact the Sheriff’s Office, she was attacked from behind by her ex-boyfriend, identified as Dyllon Dowdell. Investigators determined that Dowdell grabbed the victim by the throat, impeding her breathing until she lost consciousness. Dowdell fled the scene as deputies arrived, but was tracked in real time due to a court-ordered GPS ankle monitor. He was located at a local gas station in San Jacinto County and taken into custody without incident. Dowdell was charged with Felony Assault Family Violence-Impeding Breath/Circulation, a third-degree felony under Texas law, and booked into the San Jacinto County Jail. The victim received medical resources. The San Jacinto County Sheriff’s Office reminds the public that all individuals are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Anyone with information regarding criminal activity is urged to contact the Sheriff’s Office or Multi-County Crime Stoppers.
