A Bryan man is being held on more than $100,000 bond after an alleged assault involving his girlfriend and their 11-day-old child.
Bryan Police responded to a disturbance call at the Forest Grove Apartments at 3105 Leonard Road just before 8am on July 9, 2026. A neighbor called 9-1-1 to report they could hear a woman screaming in a nearby apartment. Officers arrived to find a woman bloodied and her face swollen.
Arrest reports say her boyfriend, 29-year-old Angel Gustavo Leija, “threw” their infant onto a blanket before initiating the assault where she was thrown to the floor and punched in the face.
The dispute allegedly began because Leija was upset that the victim did not want him to hold the baby because he had been drinking.
Leija was booked on Unlawful Restraint ($20,000 bond), family violence assault causing bodily injury ($40,000 bond), interfering with an emergency call ($5,000 bond), child endangerment ($40,000 bond)
He remains in the Brazos County Jail on $105,000 bond.
Brazos County Jail records show Leija was arrested on March 28, 2026 for family violence assault, but that the case refused or rejected.
