Upon arrival, officers met with a female victim who was standing at the end of the block.  The female identified herself and the suspect was later identified as 41yr old Bobby Dee Steele of Brownwood.  The female stated that throughout the previous afternoon and evening Mr Steele became increasingly agitated over his inability to work.  The agitation and consumption of alcoholic beverages increased to where he would yell at her, run at her, and throw items at her.  Mr Steele would grab the victim and throw her around.  Mr Steele was located at the residence and gave information consistent with portions of the story provided by the victim.

Mr Steele was therefore arrested and transported to the Brown County jail where he was charged with Assault Causing Bodily Injury/Family Violence.
