AUSTIN MAN arrested for threatening UT and a local church, just two days after he was accused of strangling a family member.
UT Police say David Coleman-Roush was in a mental health crisis when he made the threats. He has no connection to the university.
Not the first time he went crazy.
In 2024, officers found his wife inside with a bloodied face. She'd fled to the parking lot after he started throwing things, then let him back in because he was locked out without his wallet or phone. He shoved his palm into her face. She told police she thought she was going to die.
He was charged with family violence assault. The case dragged on for 16 months, then the Travis County Attorney's office (Delia Garza) let it get dismissed.
Five months later, he's facing a felony strangulation charge, another family violence assault, a charge for threatening a family member, and a felony terroristic threat.
