When Ybaben’s wife confronted him about the videos, he left the home.
His wife reported him to law enforcement, which then led to Ybaben barricading himself in a bathroom at his grandmother’s apartment and threatening suicide after the Lubbock County Sheriff’s Office tried to serve him with an arrest warrant.
Eventually, law enforcement was able to arrest him safely.
Ybaben was facing a maximum of 30 years when he took a plea deal in August. He remained in the Lubbock County Detention Center Monday.
