Sherman stalker sentenced for Assault of Public Servant
On Wednesday, February 4, 2015, Brian Walker, 49, of Sherman was found guilty by a Grayson County jury of two counts of Assault of a Public Servant. Walker will be sentenced by 397th Court Judge Brian Gary at a later hearing in January.
On April 23, 2015, a woman called 9-11 from Fairview Park saying she was being followed by Walker who was on bond for Stalking charges in which the woman was the victim. Sherman Police Officer Kent Stoy, who responded to the call, observed Walker leaving the location where the victim had been, and Stoy was able to detain Walker a few blocks from the park. Officer Stoy and Officer Kaleb Edwards, who had also responded to the scene, notified Sherman Detective James Harris, who had previously investigated Walker for the charge of Stalking, and had arranged for the bond conditions requiring Walker to stay away from the woman who had called the police. After talking to the parties, the Sherman officers arrested Walker for violating the terms of his bond conditions. When officers attempted to arrest Walker, he became enraged and assaulted Officer Edwards and Detective Harris by kicking them.
The punishment range for the crime of Assault of a Public Servant is a minimum of 2 years and a maximum of 10 years in the Texas Department of Corrections, and up to a $10,000 fine. Walker, who is also eligible for probation, has elected to have his punishment set by Judge Brian Gary of the 397th Judicial District Court. Sentencing is scheduled for January 4, 2015. Stalking charges against Walker remain pending.
