KELSEYVILLE, Calif. – A man who last year was acquitted of murder has been arrested for allegedly making threats against a Lake County Sheriff's sergeant and his family.
John Robert Gray, 45, was taken into custody last week for the incident, according to a report from Sgt. John Gregore.
Gregore reported that Gray allegedly made the threat to the sergeant, who was off-duty at the time, and members of the sergeant's family on Wednesday, July 20.
Following an investigation by detectives with the sheriff's Major Crime unit, a felony arrest for Gray was issued, Gregore said.
A sheriff’s detective assigned to the Lake County Narcotics Task Force served the warrant at Gray's Kelseyville home on Friday, Aug. 12. Gregore said Gray was taken into custody without incident.
Following his Aug. 12 arrest, Gray was transported to the Lake County Jail where he was booked on a felony charge of making threats with the intent to terrorize, with bail set at $25,000. Jail records indicated he later posted bail and was released.
Gray had been arrested for the February 2009 beating death of his roommate, 37-year-old Eric Joaquin, as Lake County News has reported.
However, in a verdict handed down late last year, a jury acquitted Gray of the murder charges.
