A shocking and violent sequence of events unfolded in San Antonio, Texas, resulting in the arrest of 38-year-old James Andrew Woerner. He is now facing multiple charges after allegedly assaulting his 73-year-old mother and later attacking law enforcement officers who arrived to arrest him.
Woerner’s actions have left the community stunned, and his case continues to develop.
The Attack on His Mother
The disturbing incident began on Friday when James Woerner allegedly broke into his mother’s home and demanded that she withdraw money from an ATM.
When the 73-year-old woman refused to comply, Woerner became enraged. Court documents suggest that he then threatened to burn his mother alive before forcing her into a car.
As he drove, Woerner reportedly hit his mother and threatened to crash the car, intending to kill both of them. In a desperate attempt to escape, the woman jumped from the moving vehicle and managed to avoid further harm.
Woerner’s father, deeply concerned for his wife’s safety, contacted the San Antonio Police Department. He warned the authorities that his son had violent intentions and even planned to throw “nitric acid” at the officers when they arrived to arrest him.
Woerner Attacks Law Enforcement Officers
The following day, law enforcement responded to the scene at East Sonterra Boulevard, where Woerner was hiding. As officers arrived to arrest him, Woerner allegedly threw an “acidic substance” at them.
One officer was hit by the substance, which reportedly caused it to sizzle on the ground. Authorities later confirmed that the substance was dangerous, but the exact composition was not disclosed.
In addition to the acidic substance, Woerner allegedly threw a Molotov cocktail at the officers while shouting, “everyone is going to die.” Fearing further danger from the hazardous substance, officers had to retreat, but Woerner barricaded himself inside an apartment complex.
The Arrest and Injuries
Despite his attempts to flee, Woerner was eventually apprehended by police. Three officers sustained minor injuries during the altercation, but they are expected to make a full recovery. Woerner was arrested and is now facing several charges, including aggravated assault against a public servant and injury to the elderly.
He has been held at the Bexar County Jail since Saturday as the investigation continues. The case has deeply shocked the San Antonio community, with Woerner’s violent behavior toward both his mother and law enforcement officers sparking concern and disbelief.
A Violent Outburst with Serious Consequences
James Woerner’s violent actions have led to serious legal consequences. He is expected to face additional charges as the investigation continues. His behavior, from attacking his elderly mother to assaulting law enforcement officers, has raised questions about his mental state and the reasons behind his outburst.
Authorities are continuing their investigation, and Woerner will likely face more charges as details emerge. The case has left the San Antonio community shaken and serves as a reminder of the dangers of unchecked violence.
