Arraignments set in OnCue shooting

The arraignments for two men charged in a shooting at an On Cue in Stroud last Oct. 9 have been scheduled for August..

The State Attorney General’s Office filed charges last October in Lincoln County District Court on Jeffrey Lee Battey, 57, Ponder, Texas and Ray Arnold Allen, 52, Krum, Texas, in connection with the shooting.

At the conclusion of a preliminary hearing last month, they were bound over to stand trial.

Their arraignments had been scheduled for July 12. On that date, Lincoln County District Judge Cindy Ashwood, by agreement of both parties, continued their arraignments until 9:30 a.m. Aug. 30.

Battey and Allen were bound over on a single count each of Assault and Battery with a deadly weapon.

Battey was charged with assault and battery with a deadly weapon and assault with a dangerous weapon.

Allen did face charges of assault with a dangerous weapon, and two counts of feloniously pointing a firearm.

The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation reportedly is handling the cases and the State Attorney General’s Office is prosecuting them.
