(Stillwater, Okla.) -- Two ex-convicts with extensive criminal records in Payne County -- who both got out of prison about six months ago -- remained jailed Thursday on charges in connection with a July 1 shooting at Forty North Apartments in Stillwater.
Cleo McKinnley Jacobs, 26, of Stillwater, is accused of shooting at Stillwater Police Officer Ricardo Inciarte with intent to kill while running from the officer on July 1.
Jacobs remains jailed on $100,000 bond, which a Payne County judge refused to lower, court records show.
Derreck Ryan Gray, 27, of Oklahoma City, is accused of shooting at Jacobs at the apartment complex on July 1 with intent to kill.
Gray is also accused of concealing a stolen gun, possessing three guns after a felony conviction, possessing cocaine and marijuana, and driving with a revoked license in Stillwater all on July 4.
Gray remained jailed on $175,000 total bond, a sheriff's spokesman said.
Stillwater Police Officer Ricardo Inciarte wrote in an affidavit that on July 1 at about 10:40 p.m. he was sent to Forty North Apartments on N. Boomer Road regarding shots fired.
"Upon my arrival, I tried to contact the victim, Cleo Jacobs, who later fled from me and discharged a firearm in my direction," Inciarte alleged in his affidavit.
"I was told by witnesses that an altercation took place between Derreck, a.k.a. 'Hood,' later identified as Derreck Gray, a convicted felon, and Cleo McKinnley Jacobs, a.k.a. 'Angel,' at 1815 N. Boomer around the F building," the officer alleged in his affidavit.
"During this altercation, Derreck pulled a pistol and shot down the breezeway towards Cleo missing his target and striking the I building," the affidavit alleged.
"Officers later recovered a 9 mm shell casing as well as fragments of the bullet between the F and I building," the affidavit said.
"At the moment of the shooting there were multiple people in the area of the breezeway where Derreck shot at," the affidavit alleged.
"At least two witnesses identified Derreck Gray as the person in possession of the firearm that shot down the breezeway," the affidavit alleged.
On July 4, after Gray was arrested on an unrelated offense, three weapons were recovered from his residence on a search warrant, the affidavit alleged.
Two of the weapons were 9 mm pistols, one of which was reported as stolen and the other as lost, the affidavit alleged.
Gray was first sent to prison at age 19 in 2002 for 114 days in the Regimented Inmate Discipline (RID) boot camp program for assault with a dangerous weapon, cocaine possession with intent to distribute and two burglaries in Stillwater, state Department of Corrections and court records show.
In 2003, he was given a five-year prison term followed by five years of probation for those Payne County crimes, court records show.
In 2007 he was given a six-year prison term for possession of a stolen vehicle and drug possession in Payne County, which he apparently served in less than three years, DOC records show.
Jacobs was first sent to prison at age 20 in 2004 for assault and battery on a police officer and obstructing an officer in Payne County, both in 2003, DOC records show.
Jacobs was convicted in 2005 of unauthorized use of a vehicle, marijuana possession, child endangerment and cocaine possession with intent to distribute in Payne County, all occurring in 2004, DOC records show.
Jacobs also has a 2005 conviction for grand larceny in the night in 2003 in Kay County, for which he received probation, DOC records show.
If convicted of their current Payne County charges of shooting with intent to kill after a former felony conviction, both ex-convicts could be sent back to prison for life, court records show.
