A man tried to leave his home in Rio Grande City and found the road blocked. According to a criminal complaint, a woman confronted him. She showed him a pistol.
Deputy Jose Garcia was sent to the home on Sept. 26, 2026, for a road rage call involving a firearm. The man told him that the woman threatened to shoot him and his house. He said she showed him a small black Glock 43x.
The complaint names the woman as Adriana Leon.
El Tejano is not naming the man, and we are not printing the street.
The man gave a recorded statement on the deputy's body camera. That video was not part of the documents El Tejano reviewed.
Leon is charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. It is a second degree felony. That can mean 2 to 20 years in prison.
Texas law says a firearm is a deadly weapon. A person does not have to fire it to face this charge. Threatening someone with imminent harm while using a gun can be enough.
The complaint does not say how the road came to be blocked. It does not say if the two had met before, or if there was a dispute between them.
It does not say whether the pistol was loaded, where it was found, or whether deputies took it. It does not say if anyone was hurt. It does not say if Leon gave her version of events.
The sworn block on the copy El Tejano reviewed is blank, and the copy is marked as a copy. That means El Tejano cannot confirm from the copy alone that the deputy signed under oath before a notary.
The man's statement was recorded. A judge or jury may be able to see and hear his account in his own words. It was recorded close to the time it happened. The defense will also have the right to see it.
Body camera video can help both sides. It can support a story or show where it falls apart.
El Tejano did not find a bond amount or a court date in the complaint. A judge will set the first hearing. Leon will be able to enter a plea and answer the charge.
This is an accusation from a police complaint. It is not proof. Adriana Leon is presumed innocent until proven guilty in court.
