Indictment 2:
According to Killeen police, officers were called to the 500 block of Blake Avenue on Oct. 7 for reports of an armed person. When officers arrived, they learned a blue SUV had pulled up to a woman's home. When she went outside to see who was inside, Okray exited his residence, pointed a handgun at her, and began yelling profanities, threatening her and her children, police said.
Police said Okray then went back into his home and refused to come outside.
The Killeen Police Department's Tactical Response Unit was activated. Officers said Okray eventually exited the residence and was booked into Bell County Jail the same day.
The Bell County Sheriff's Office confirmed Okray remains in jail with a bond totaling $300,000 for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and obstruction or retaliation.
25 News spoke with Killeen residents who shared their thoughts on what happened.
"It's shocking because I don't feel like he should be doing those things when he's supposed to be someone we follow and how are we going to follow someone who does not even show respect to themselves," one Killeen resident said.
The District Attorney's Office said they cannot comment further due to the pending litigation. No court date has been announced at this time.
