DOUGLAS (WNE) — Everett L. Bray of Glenrock was bound over to state district court Jan. 19 on a single felony charge of harassment after he allegedly violated a woman’s protection order against him twice in the last six months. 

Bray was arrested Jan. 7 for stalking and open container after the victim called the Converse County Sheriff’s Office to report she found him on her doorstep as she let her dog out. 

He was holding a beer in one hand and a shiny object in another, authorities were told. 

She told dispatch she had then armed herself with an ax because she believed Bray was “going to kill her,” according to the police affidavit filed with the court. 

The victim showed authorities the protection order against Bray and told them it was the second time he had been at her residence. The first time a friend “had hit Bray in the head with a shovel to get him to leave,” the affidavit stated, noting that a police report had been filed in that incident as well. 

The protection order was issued June 30, 2022, and specifically prohibited Bray from entering the Miller Road property in Glenrock where the woman lives. 

Bray had left the scene before officers arrived, but he was found riding with a friend, Kamon Shotgunn. 

Officers said they observed open containers of alcohol in the vehicle, both in the center console and on the passenger seat. 

His preliminary hearing in Converse County Circuit Court Jan. 9 resulted in his case being bound over to district court for trial on a single felony count of harassment. 

If convicted, Bray faces up to 10 years in prison and a $10,000 fine.
