An Austin man is in the Mower County jail after he allegedly assaulted a woman and two teens on Easter.
Police arrested Hector Estrada, 32, after 9 p.m. Sunday in the 1900 block of Fifth Avenue NW after he allegedly shoved a 33-year-old woman and punched a 15-year-old boy and 17-year-old girl in their faces.
Police responded, but when they arrived, Estrada had already left the home, according to the home. According to Police Chief Brian Krueger, officers used K-9, Bosco, to find Estrada in the same neighborhood hiding in between some bushes and a fence. Estrada allegedly wouldn’t come out when officers asked him several times, but Bosco successfully removed Estrada from hiding.
According to the police report, Estrada also allegedly interfered with a 911 call, provided officers a false name and stole a cell phone.
Police took Estrada to Mayo Clinic Health System in Austin where he was treated for the dog bite. He’s in jail awaiting formal charges.
