Felony Aggravated Assault Charge Dropped Against Cantonment

June 22, 2024

A felony charge has been dropped against a Cantonment man accused of pointing a gun at his ex-girlfriend in February.

Avery Curtis Lockett, 26, was originally charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

The victim alleged Lockett fired a gun into a bathroom floor before pointing a gun at her following and argument.

Prosecutors dropped charges against Lockett, saying “there is insufficient evidence to prove the charge beyond a reasonable doubt,” according to a court filing by Assistant State Attorney Ki McInnis.
