Joseph V. Chinderle of Raymondville was arrested Sunday and cited for third-degree domestic assault following an incident at a Shumake Drive residence.
Texas County Sheriff’s Department officers made the arrest after Chinderle, 34, injured a woman by reportedly throwing a chair and other objects at her. The 40-year-old woman told investigating officers that Chinderle had become violent toward her when he came home after he had been drinking.
The victim stated that Chinderle had also twisted her arm. She sustained injuries to her right forearm, left thumb and right leg.
Sheriff’s department officers had been dispatched to the same residence twice before for the same reason.
