EL PASO, Texas (KFOX14\/CBS4) \u2014 An 18-year-old woman said her ex-boyfriend beat her and threatened to take her to the desert and kill her after she broke up with him over “something” she found on his cellphone.<\/p>\n

According to the arrest affidavit, the 18-year-old victim told investigators that 22-year-old Sergio Omar Ramos punched her, pulled her by her hair, held her hostage in his car and told her he was going to drive her to the desert to kill her. <\/p>\n

Ramos was arrested on Monday at around 3:17 a.m., at his home at the 3600 block of Vanderveer Drive in Far East El Paso, after a man who said he witnessed the assault from a window in his home called 911 and ran out to help the victim– effectively scaring off the suspect.<\/p>\n

The victim explained to detectives that all this allegedly happened because she broke up with Ramos after she found “something” on his phone that she didn’t like. <\/p>\n

The victim stated that at around 2 a.m. Ramos reportedly called her, “asking to talk.”<\/p>\n

The victim then said that she left Ramos’ home and, while she was walking, Ramos allegedly followed her in his car– a gray Dodge Charger Daytona– and forced\/pushed her into the car.<\/p>\n

Then, inside the car, the victim described defending herself as Ramos allegedly punched her while threatening to kill her. <\/p>\n

The victim said she eventually jumped out of the moving car, adding that that didn’t stop Ramos as he braked, climbed out of the vehicle and tried to pull her back.<\/p>\n

At this point, the witness who called 911 reportedly ran out of his home– warding off Ramos.<\/p>\n

Also in the arrest affidavit, detectives describe finding Ramos’ car parked outside his home, noticing blood stains inside the car. <\/p>\n

According to the arrest affidavit, detectives interviewed Ramos at the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office Headquarters, where Ramos reportedly told them that he had gotten in a fight that night at Mi Bar Cantina, after he approached a girl who– unbeknownst to him– was there with her boyfriend. <\/p>\n

As he described the altercation, detectives said Ramos emphasized that he only threw one punch and did not get hit\/hurt.<\/p>\n

Ramos then reportedly told detectives he hung out with the victim at his home, where he said he fell asleep and woke up to the victim angry after seeing the photo of another girl in his cellphone. <\/p>\n

Ramos then claimed the victim stormed out of his house and he went after her, but denied forcing her into the car or attacking her, saying instead that the victim threw herself to the ground and scratched herself.<\/p>\n

However, when detectives told him that a witness reported seeing him pulling the victim into this car by her hair– Ramos allegedly changed the tune of his story, telling detectives that he was trying to help her get in the car, adding that, as a result, he might have pulled her from her shoulder\/head\/hair.<\/p>\n

Similarly, detectives claim that when they questioned him regarding the scratches he had on his neck, he said it was from the aforementioned bar fight, despite his earlier claims that he did not get hit\/hurt <\/p>\n

Jail records show Ramos was booked into the El Paso County Jail Annex, where he was charged with aggravated kidnapping and, as of Wednesday afternoon, remains jailed under a $25,000 bond.<\/p>\n

After the incident, the victim was taken to the hospital as she had swelling to her face, lacerations on the back of her head and on her right heel, and road rash and scrapes on her back and arms.<\/p>\n
