A bail jumping case filed against defeated state representative candidate Casey Gray in Wisconsin has been dismissed, but two cases accusing him of violating restraining orders remain pending.
Online court records from the Walworth County Circuit Court detail that Gray, 40, was in court because his attorney, Jonathan Carver Smith, filed a motion last month to withdraw from his case for “failing substantially to fulfill an obligation” to him.
Gray had two restraining orders filed against him in Walworth County in 2018 and the following years authorities alleged he violated both of them and charged him with bail jumping.
Court records show the restraining order cases remain open, but the judge in the bail jumping case dismissed that case after the Wisconsin Court of Appeals declined to review an appeal that had been filed.
The records also indicate Gray asked the judge to schedule his pending cases for 60 days from Monday, noting he is “currently serving overseas” and his next court date was set for July 27.
According to court records, three of Gray’s attorneys have withdrawn from the restraining order cases and he has not yet retained a new attorney.
Gray has said he served in the Naval Special Warfare, the CIA, the Texas National Guard and is a “100% disabled veteran from the U.S. Army.” He also has said he was a diplomat for the State Department in Israel.
However, the OA has been contacted by more than a dozen people who have sent hundreds of pages of documents that question some aspects of Gray’s military service and whether he has worked for the CIA. Those people have also suggested Gray has exaggerated the nature of a helicopter incident in Korea and the injuries he sustained.
Gray has declined to supply most of the documents asked for, instead questioning the OA’s motives.
On Monday, following the hearing, Gray tagged the OA in a Facebook post about the dismissal.
Gray, who was spotted in an Odessa Target the week of March 9, wrote that he has”been in Ukraine since early March.”
He also posted a portion of the judge’s minute entry on his Facebook but left out the part about his pending cases.
Calling the OA a “leftist rag” and a “dying rag of a newspaper,” Gray said he expected the paper to apologize and write a “full story vindicating” his name or face a lawsuit.
Gray ran against District 81 State Rep. Brooks Landgraf in the Republican primary March 1. Landgraf, who was seeking his fifth term, won in a landslide, earning 80% of the votes cast, his largest victory to date.
