LONGVIEW — Authorities reduced the Gregg County Crimestoppers’ Most Wanted list Tuesday with the arrest of a Longview man. Gregg County sheriff’s deputies took Brad Hagen “Sledge” Hammer, 36, into custody Tuesday morning following a grand jury indictment for felony drunk driving. District Judge Alfonso Charles set Hammer’s bond at $30,000 and scheduled a June 24 arraignment hearing.
The charge stems from Hammer’s Nov. 11 arrest on drunk driving charges. Prior to his arrest, he completed a three-year jail term for a 2009 drunk driving conviction in which a drug possession charge was dismissed. He remained in the Gregg County Jail on Tuesday afternoon.
