Charges pile up in shooting case
The filed charges are piling up against a Pauls Valley teenager involved in a shooting incident on Halloween, as prosecutors want to keep him in jail.
Two more formal allegations were filed Wednesday against 19-year-old Derrick Lewis Lane.
Lane was hit with four criminal charges on Monday with two related to a shooting incident early last Saturday night in the 100 block of East Jefferson.
Now officials in the Garvin County District Attorney’s office in Pauls Valley have filed a motion asking that Lane be held without bond on the basis he could represent a potential danger to the public if he’s released. The motion filed Wednesday by Assistant District Attorney Micah Ayache also claims Lane should remain incarcerated because other firearms believed to have been involved in last weekend’s incident have not yet been accounted for by law enforcement.
Included in the motion is the request for a bail and detention hearing on the no bond issue.
Lane was among a group of four individuals, including two juveniles, arrested after the Oct. 31 incident. Lane is accused of firing multiple shots at a number of people after earlier being involved in an argument with an unnamed juvenile.
Lane is the only individual facing shooting-related charges. Police reports show at least one other person claimed to have retrieved a weapon and fired a single shot into the air.
Lane was charged Monday with felony counts of shooting with intent to kill and assault with a dangerous weapon in Garvin County District Court.
He also received two counts of second-degree burglary. One is related to a break-in at a store in the 800 block of South Walnut on Oct. 30. Lane is also accused of stealing audio stereo equipment from a vehicle a day later in the 200 block of Jefferson.
New accusations against Lane allege he possessed a sawed-off rifle, which a filed affidavit shows was discovered in his home after Lane led police to the weapon placed behind a piece of furniture.
A second felony was filed Wednesday accusing Lane of having in his possession a Rolex watch stolen in mid-October from a house located near his residence.
