The court hearing was for Rocky Wicker, Sr. He's accused of shooting at Brian Melvin and three Probation and Parole officers who were trying to serve a warrant on his son. Wicker is charged with attempted murder and wanton endangerment. Danny McGraw, who is the Little Sandy Regional Complex Senior Captain, said he wanted to be at the hearing to support a man who is like a brother to him. "I know I can go and do my job and I know that I got family. They are more family than they are coworkers," said McGraw.
