A 28-year-old Beeville man faces a possible life sentence if convicted of an offense for which he was indicted Tuesday.

Newly appointed grand jurors indicted Marcos Villagomez on a charge of attempted sexual assault. The charge was enhanced to a punishment range of 25-99 years or life in prison because Villagomez had previous felony convictions.

According to investigators with the Beeville Police Department, Villagomez pulled down a 27-year-old woman’s shorts in an attempt to sexually assault her on Sept, 12, 2009.

The punishment range of the indictment was enhanced because the defendant had been convicted of burglary of a habitation on Sept. 2, 1999, and on a charge of possession of cocaine with intent to deliver on April 19, 2000. Both convictions were in Harris County.

District Judge Janna Whatley set bond at $5,000.

If convicted, Martin could be sentenced to 20 years in prison and fined $10,000.

•Zachary Sutherland was named in a two-count indictment on charges of injury to a child.

According to police, Sutherland spanked a girl under the age of 14 on her genitals and buttocks on Aug. 7, 2009.

•Roel Cerda on a charge of possession of a prohibited substance in a correctional facility, enhanced to a third degree felony.
