GRIMES COUNTY, Texas — A man has been sentenced to 20 total years in prison in Grimes County for aggravated assault and escaping custody, according to the Grimes County District Attorney's Office.
According to the Grimes County DA's Office, 52-year-old Albino Guerrero pled guilty to Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon and Escape on Wednesday, Dec. 11.
