A 25-year-old Gillette man who is already in prison for assaulting jail officers is now accused of attacking prison guards when they wouldn’t let him keep gingerbread-making supplies in his cell.
He’s serving a five-to-10-year prison term in the Wyoming State Penitentiary in Rawlins.
The Carbon County Attorney’s Office charged him with felony police interference Monday, on evidence that he kicked and thrashed at prison guards.
If convicted, he could receive an additional prison term of up to 20 years — 10 years on each of the two counts of felony interference he now faces.
The incident dates back to Nov. 26, 2024, when the prison staffers allowed equipment or goods used for a gingerbread-making contest in inmates’ pods, but not in their cells, says an evidentiary affidavit by Carbon County Sheriff’s Deputy David Greninger.
Corrections officers were shaking down cells for contraband and forbidden items that day.
One of the officers “found extra items for a gingerbread-making competition” in a cell and called Gray over to answer for the discovery.
Gray raised his right hand as if to hit the officer, says the affidavit, and other officers intervened to get Gray to the ground.
The document says that as officers tried to restrain Gray, he kicked, punched and screamed.
The officer who raised the objection against the gingerbread-making items soon found his lip was numb and swollen, the affidavit adds.
Another officer told the deputy, when interviewed, that Gray had squealed, raised his fist and kicked during the officers’ efforts to restrain him.
The sergeant who had helped to intervene said she had scrapes on her arms, but she wasn’t in pain, the affidavit relates from her interview. (snip)

Bro likes his gingerbread.
Can’t catch him, he’s the gingerbread man?
Didn’t the gingerbread man meet a bad end?
Is Gray gay by any chance?
Good question.
Regards,
This is what passes for front page news here in Wyoming. Which I’d say is a good thing, all things considered.
He was cheating? In a gingerbread competition?
Damn, this dude is way beyond any type of rehabilitation.
“...officers “found extra items for a gingerbread-making competition” in a cell...”
Maybe he was running an illegal gingerbread contest betting ring? Did he bribe the gingerbread judges?
Was he allowed to keep his crushed walnuts and his Icing tools?
**Michelle asked the Warden: “All this for some sweet cake?”
Sounds like the guy is right where he needs to be.
Sincere question for anybody who might know:
If a prisoner slugs a guard in the jaw, is that guard allowed to defend himself in any way, maybe slug the prisoner right back, or must that prison guard simply absorb the attack and file a report, the way a junior high school teacher is expected to passively do?
My first impulse would be to immediately return the favor.
“You’re a monster!”
