Striking his girlfriend in the face results in 32 years in prison for a Bryan man.

49 year old Jesse Lopez was found guilty this week by a Brazos County District Court jury.

The judge, who could have ordered a sentence ranging from 25 years to life, heard Lopez say he had nine to 11 beers before an argument with the victim over whether he should drive, which led to the assault.

Prosecutors say Lopez’s criminal history included a second assault along with eight prior convictions for drunk driving.
