According to KXAN in Austin, the sheriff’s office said Swindell was with her ex-boyfriend and that he was taken into custody.
TCSO reported that Swindell was with Guidry, who has been arrested on a Travis County Sheriff’s Office warrant and is currently in custody, with additional information to be released “as soon as possible,” according to KXAN.
Travis County court documents obtained by KXAN on Monday show that Morgan Guidry has been charged with Assault with Injury Family Violence Strangulation, and a third-degree felony.
The arrest warrant, signed on Friday and filed on Monday, outlines an alleged incident that took place on July 7. According to the affidavit, the victim informed the Travis County Sheriff’s Office that she had been choked multiple times by her boyfriend, identified in the documents as Guidry, and also suffered other bodily injuries allegedly inflicted by him.
What happened?
Brenna was last seen in Austin, and her family became alarmed when they could no longer reach her and discovered that her phone had been turned off. Adding to the concern, Brenna’s white Kia Carnival, bearing Texas plates VFS7528, is also missing.
It is believed that Brenna may be in the company of her ex-boyfriend, Morgan Guidry. According to a Facebook post by Brenna’s family, sightings of Brenna’s vehicle were reported on I-25 in Colorado on Friday evening, with additional possible sightings in Colorado Springs on Sunday evening.
As of Monday morning, Swindell’s sister has confirmed that her last known location was in Boise, Idaho.
The Austin Police Department is leading the investigation, and efforts are being made to activate the GPS on Brenna’s vehicle to pinpoint its location. However, challenges remain as both Brenna’s and Morgan’s cell phones are turned off, making it difficult to trace their movements.
Greg Swindell, a Houston native, Texas Longhorn legend, and former Astros player, is actively involved in the search for his daughter Brenna. The family is urging anyone with information to come forward, emphasizing that Brenna would never willingly abandon her children, and they fear she may be in serious danger.
Brenna is described as 5′5″, weighing around 120 pounds, with brown shoulder-length hair often worn in a high ponytail. She has distinctive tattoos, including a sleeve with flowers on one arm and a spider web on her other shoulder.
