He was also recently convicted in Madisonville for a robbery at the Brookshire Brothers store.
And a local gang member recently pleaded guilty to beating and robbing a man who refused to return $950 he won in gambling. 22 year old Carl Walker, Jr. of College Station was sentenced to 15 years in prison. The victim was treated for injuries that included a broken jaw from the incident two years ago. Charges remain pending against two co-defendants.
