On May 8, 2023, after a contested sentencing hearing, the Honorable Russell Wilson sentenced Stuart Fraser to 42 years in prison on two counts of Assault of a Peace Officer. On September 2, 2020, Stuart Fraser assaulted two corrections officers as he was being magistrated at the Wilson County Jail. Mr. Fraser has an extensive criminal history including three prior convictions for Burglary of Habitation, a conviction for Aggravated Assault, and a federal conviction for Unlawful Possession of a Firearm by a Felon. We would like to thank the judge for looking out for the future safety of community, as well as Wilson County Sheriff’s Office for their cooperation with this prosecution, in particular, Corrections Officers Oliver and Lieutenant Heather Reyna. Wilson County Adult Probation Chief Andrew Flores and APO Jean Davis provided necessary testimony for the court and a thorough pre-sentence investigation. Special thanks for prosecutors Lorena Whitney and Marc Ledet for their work on the case
