HOUSTON -- Agay Donald Trump supporter has been charged with aggravated assault in connection with an incident that occurred outside Jones Hall following comedian Kathy Griffin’s Houston performance on Aug. 20, according to Harris County court records.

Carlos “Carl” Pacheco, 34, is accused of brandishing a pocket knife and stabbing the window of a vehicle occupied by patrons who were leaving the show, in an incident captured on dash cam and cell phone video.

A spokesperson for the Harris County Sheriff’s Department said Pacheco was arrested on Sept. 27 and released on Sept. 28. His bail had been set at $15,000, according to court records. If convicted of aggravated assault, a second-degree felony, Pacheco faces up to 20 years in prison.

The victim, Michele Nunez, told OutSmart she is relieved that charges have been filed against Pacheco.
