“18 weeks with our bean 🤍 @jacoblagrone22,” Brockway wrote alongside a pair of photos showing what appeared to be a crotcheted sex reveal cake reading "Boy or Girl?" and a second image of herself holding a pink piece of cake, signifying that she was expecting a baby girl.
Though he was tagged in the post, LaGrone was absent from the photos amid his court battle, which stemmed from a shooting that took place in March 2023.
The indictment obtained by The Washington Post claims that LaGrone, “did intentionally and knowingly threaten imminent bodily injury” to the officers and “did use or exhibit a deadly weapon during the commission of the assault, namely, a firearm.”
If convicted, LaGrone could face anywhere from less than five years to life in prison based on state law. The Washington Post reports that LaGrone was offered a plea deal of 25 years in prison by the Tarrant County district attorney's office.
PEOPLE has reached out to the The Westover Hills Police Department, The Westworth Village Police Department and LaGrone's attorney Rhett Parham for comment on the ongoing legal proceedings.
Westworth Village city officials told WFAA 8 that three police officers from the Westworth Village Police Department and the Westover Hills Police Department, “were fired upon” while responding to a report of a discharge of a firearm.
LaGrone was arrested and released from jail on a $20,000 bond after his arrest, The Washington Post reported.
