The neighbor also told police Chavez had previously harassed him multiple times, the affidavit says.

The neighbor had red marks on his face and a cut on his cheek, according to the affidavit.

Chavez was arrested on a second-degree felony charge of aggravated assault. He was released from McLennan County Jail on $10,000 bond.
