Sherman police booked Brett Alan Martin into the Grayson County jail on July 5 on a charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, according to the county's public jail records. The entry files the case under booking number 2026-2454 and lists the Sherman Police Department as the arresting agency.
The record states the charge and does not identify the weapon. It names no specific object tied to the deadly-weapon element of the charge, and no other primary document confirming such a detail was among the records reviewed for this report.
The charge carries a defined meaning in state law. Section 22.02 of the Texas Penal Code treats an assault as aggravated when the person accused uses or exhibits a deadly weapon during the alleged offense. That definition accounts for a booking entry that reads "aggravated assault with a deadly weapon" without naming the weapon, because the statute applies to a broad category of objects rather than any single one.
A booking record reflects an accusation, not a conviction. It sets down the charge an agency has filed when a person is taken into custody, and it does not establish guilt or signal how prosecutors will proceed or how a court might rule.
What the county entry confirms is limited: the arrest, the arresting agency, the booking number and the charge as filed on July 5. The record carries no account of who was involved or where the alleged assault took place, and it offers no narrative of events. No arrest affidavit, court filing or police report describing the allegation appeared among the records reviewed for this story.
Arrests made by Sherman police are booked into the Grayson County jail. The county publishes individual booking records through its online judicial search, where the entry documenting Martin's July 5 booking can be found. That entry remains the reference point for the charge as it was first filed.
