An Oklahoma judge already facing a felony case in Texas in connection with an alleged drive-by shooting and road rage crash now faces an indictment for allegedly perpetrating a drive-by shooting at his brother in-law’s house in the Sooner State.
The latest charges against against Garfield County Associate Judge Brian Lovell, 58, actually stemmed from an incident that preceded the Texas case in the 2023 shooting timeline.
Lovell, on Feb. 12, 2023, allegedly used a vehicle (though the indictment doesn’t specify the type) while intentionally shooting a Glock 23 40-caliber pistol “with conscious disregard for the safety of another person or persons” at or into a Bison dwelling within Garfield County that belonged to his brother-in-law, Kenneth Markes.
