LPD identified the officer as Steven Webster Patin, of Kingsland, on Wednesday, Aug. 5, stating that he was arrested and booked into the Llano County Jail on three felony charges.

The charges were: aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, continuous violence against the family, and assault on a family or household member by impeding breathing or circulation. Altogether, Patin’s bond was set at $225,000.

In LPD’s media release on Tuesday, it was noted that administration was made aware of a potential off-duty domestic incident and contacted the Department of Public Safety’s criminal investigation unit, the Texas Rangers, for further investigation.

He was taken into custody without incident and placed in the Llano County Jail.”

The investigation remains open and active, and no further information was available at the time of this article’s publication.
