A sex offender already in custody for allegedly failing to register was charged Wednesday in connection with a shooting in September 2023 on Manor Lane where a local man was hit in the leg multiple times.
Gary Wayne Bragg, 53, who is reportedly homeless, was served with a felony warrant for first-degree battery, punishable by up to 20 years in prison, shortly before 9:30 a.m. at the Garland County Detention Center.
Bragg has been in custody in lieu of a $9,000 bond since Nov. 29, 2023, on a charge of failure to comply with sex offender registration and reporting requirements. He had pleaded not guilty to the charge on Dec. 1 with a felony review hearing set for Jan. 19 in Garland County District Court.
