Domestic
Gun Fire Results In Arrest
An
early morning call to the Liberty County Sheriff’s Office reporting numerous
gun shots and a woman screaming at the Joker Game Room at 9852 SH 321 sent
Sheriff’s Patrol Deputy Brad Taylor to the scene while Dayton Police Officer
Kris Seibert also responded as a back-up unit. According to lead Patrol
Investigator Deputy Taylor it was about 8:25 am when several gun shots were
fired by Baytown resident 23 year old Bradley Steven Hayhurst from his vehicle
towards the white Chevrolet pick-up truck driven by his step-father as both
vehicles sped away from the game room where the two had been involved in a
domestic confrontation.
As
Officer Kris Seibert was responding to the scene, she observed a white
Chevrolet pick-up truck that fit the description of the victim’s vehicle speeding
south on SH 321. Turning around on the vehicle, Officer Seibert could see the
rear window of the truck had been shot out as well as several bullet holes in
the tail gate. The driver was detained and returned to the scene but the
suspect, Bradley Hayhurst, had fled before deputies arrived.
Throughout
the day deputies searched for Hayhurst and his vehicle. Later in the day
Hayhurst’s car was found abandoned on CR 6476. Still later Sheriff’s Cpl. James
W. McQueen and Deputy Gordon Bean located Hayhurst walking down CR 6463 where
he was detained and held for further investigation of the disturbance and
shooting.
Earlier,
during the day’s investigation, deputies tried to obtain information on
Hayhurst’s whereabouts and details of the shooting from his mother, 45 year old
Stacy Lynn Hamilton who carries a Hart, Texas address but according to Dep.
Taylor, Hamilton refused to corporate with the investigators in any way even
though she had been at the Game Room at the time of the shooting.
When
Hayhurst was questioned later by the deputies in an effort to obtain his side
of what lead to the gun fire, they met with the same defiant and uncooperative
attitude as was displayed by his mother.
Bradley
Steven Hayhurst was charged with Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon and
his mother, Stacy Lynn Hamilton, was charged with Hindering an Investigation. Both
were placed in the Liberty County Jail. According to Dep. Taylor, the
investigation is continuing. (END)
