The incident, which drew significant attention from local authorities, involved Gray attacking multiple individuals during a heated altercation.

According to court reports, the assault was triggered by jealousy, leading Gray to lash out violently. During the attack, Gray not only targeted a male but also assaulted a woman present at the scene. Witnesses described how Gray pushed the woman forcefully against a bar stool, causing her to fall to the floor and sustain injuries. The court proceedings revealed that Gray was heavily intoxicated at the time of the incident, having consumed a substantial amount of alcohol, which likely contributed to his aggressive behavior.

She noted that Gray continued his assault even after a pool cue he was wielding broke, demonstrating a reckless disregard for the safety of others.

Gray ultimately pleaded guilty to multiple charges, including unlawful possession of an offensive weapon. In response, the court sentenced him to six months in prison, emphasizing the seriousness of his actions and the need for accountability.
