INDIANAPOLIS -- A Marion County judge issued an arrest warrant last week for Weston Gray – the man who pleaded guilty in April in the “Franklin Township creeper” case.

Gray was arrested in 2016 following accusations he had peered into people’s homes and broken into at least one of them.

He pleaded guilty earlier this year to residential entry and battery, and was sentenced to a year of home detention on GPS monitoring, as well as an additional year-and-a-half on probation – also including GPS monitoring.

The terms of his sentence called for Gray to be treated as a sexual offender for the duration of his probation. He was also required to submit to searches of his property and computer equipment at the discretion of the probation department.

Court records show Gray was discharged from community corrections custody on Oct. 2.

Then, on Thursday, a notice of violation of probation was filed in the case. The nature of the alleged violation was not immediately clear.

Following the notice, a Marion County judge issued a warrant for Gray’s arrest.

Court documents filed in the case detailed allegations that Gray had broken into a home in August 2015 and entered a young girl’s bedroom.

The girl’s mother, Jamie Hogan, told police her daughter awoke to find him standing over her.

“She recalls waking up to this male standing over her and she immediately began kicking him and screaming,” the affidavit says. “The suspect began wrestling with her when she started to strike him and he left a scratch on her arm.”

Gray was also linked to an August 2016 case of a man caught on video approaching doors in Franklin Township and trying to gain entry.

Gray’s wife later identified him as the man in the video.

As of Tuesday evening, Marion County Jail records did not show Gray as in custody.
