A 25-year-old Austin man who dragged a woman around her house by her hair pleaded guilty to two domestic abuse charges Monday in Mower County District Court.

Santiago Carlos Rubio pleaded guilty to the two counts of gross misdemeanor domestic assault in exchange for six other criminal charges being dismissed. Dismissed charges include: one count of felony terroristic threats, two counts of malicious punishment of a child and three counts of gross misdemeanor domestic assault.

According to a court complaint, Rubio and a woman got into a verbal dispute on April 1 that left him upset. Around 9:30 p.m., he grabbed her by the hair and dragged her around the house. He kept asking to see her phone, and when she didn’t give it to him, he threatened to hurt her children.

When the woman ran into the bedroom where her four children were, Rubio followed, taking off his belt and swinging it over his head. The metal buckle apparently hit the bedroom wall, leaving a hole.

Rubio then reportedly hit one of the children with the belt. According to the court complaint, the child had large red injuries on his forehead and neck where the belt hit. Rubio also threatened to kill the woman in front of the children, according to court documents.

The woman told police Rubio eventually left the room and fell asleep, and she called police from a friend’s house.

Court records indicate Rubio was convicted of fifth-degree domestic assault against the same woman in 2009.

Rubio is scheduled to be sentenced on July 15.
