San Angelo Man Jailed After Assaulting Woman With Knife

SAN ANGELO, TX — A San Angelo man has been arrested after threatening a woman with a knife.

Mustafa Carlisle, 37, was arrested for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

According to court documents, on Saturday, Nov. 7, 2026, the investigator was contacted by a San Angelo police officer regarding a disturbance in the 4200 block of Travis Street. The subject, identified as Carlisle, reportedly threatened a woman with a knife and was stabbing bedding and other items in the residence.

The investigator spoke to the victim, who said Carlisle had begun using narcotics again, specifically methamphetamine. Carlisle had also been gone for a day or so prior to the incident.

That evening, the victim said she was woken up to Carlisle entering the home and demanding money, but he then started alleging that someone else was inside the home, insinuating infidelity. 

Carlisle said that if he found anyone else inside the residence, he would kill the victim. The victim said that Carlisle went into the kitchen and retrieved a knife before returning to the bedroom.

In the bedroom, the victim was facing the wall on the bed when Carlisle knelt down toward her, placed the knife towards her face, and said again that if he found anyone inside the house, he would kill her. The victim got out of bed and went to check on another individual inside the home. Carlisle allegedly followed her and threatened her in the same manner again.

A witness who was also inside the residence said to investigators that they could hear Carlisle threatening the victim as the victim told Carlisle to put the knife away. According to the victim, Carlisle also began swinging the knife around while attempting to stab the bed, curtains, walls, and other items inside the house.

The investigator was able to listen to a 911 call and could hear the victim talking to dispatch and telling Carlisle to put the knife down.

Carlisle was arrested and charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and was booked into the Tom Green County Jail on $75,000 bond.
