Man indicted on six charges in 2007 incident
By ALEX WUKMAN
Gary Cecil Parker, 49, was indicted recently by a San Jacinto County Grand Jury on six charges. Parker is facing three counts of aggravated kidnapping, two counts of aggravated robbery and one count of burglary of a habitation.
All six of the crimes Parker allegedly committed are First Degree Felonies. The Texas Penal Code states that a First Degree Felony has a prison sentence that ranges from 5-99 years and a fine up to $10,000.
According to court documents, in October of 2007, Parker allegedly threatened Mary Hoot Cleveland. The court documents state that Parker is accused of threatening “while in the course of committing theft of property.”
Parker is also accused of “restricting the movement of said Mary Hoot Cleveland without her consent so as to interfere substantially with her liberty by moving her from one place to another.”
It is alleged that in December 2007 Parker broke into the home of Myrtle L. Simmons. Once Parker was inside the house, he allegedly brandished a butcher knife and attempted to steal property.
Parker is also accused of restricting Simmons’ movements and those of Lula Mae Hoot. Courts documents also state that Parker allegedly transferred Simmons and Hoot “from one place to another with the intent to prevent [their] liberation.”
This is not the first time that Parker has been in trouble with the law. Parker was convicted in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas in 1984 for Conspiracy Against the Rights of Citizens.
According to the U.S. Criminal Code, Conspiracy Against Rights occurs when “two or more persons conspire to injure, threaten, or intimidate any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him by the Constitution or laws of the United States.”
In November of 1998, Parker was convicted in the 258 District Court in San Jacinto County on one count of forgery. In December of 1998, he was convicted on one count of fraud (obtaining drugs by forgery).
