College Station man sentenced to several decades in prison for violating bond conditions
BRYAN, Texas (KBTX) – Corain Watson pled guilty in a Brazos County courtroom to Continuous Violation of Bond Conditions in a Family Violence Case.
The bond conditions were imposed after the defendant was arrested on charges of misdemeanor Assault Family Violence and felony Possession of a Controlled Substance on January 3, 2023.
In that incident, officials say Watson was observed by multiple witnesses physically abusing the victim outside businesses along Harvey Road around lunchtime.
Concerned citizens called for police assistance, and after an investigation on the scene, Watson was arrested for family violence. During the search after arrest, police discovered methamphetamine in his possession.
After his arrest, Watson violated the Court’s conditions of bond prohibiting him from contacting the victim by contacting her in December of 2023 and again in January of 2024.
On Monday, a jury trial commenced. During the trial, an agreement was reached between the State and the Defense.
In the agreement, the defendant was sentenced to 30 years in prison for the offense of Continuous Violation of Bond Conditions, 30 years in prison for Possession of Methamphetamine, and the maximum sentence of one year in the county jail for assault family violence. These sentences will run concurrently.
The defendant’s criminal history included multiple convictions for theft, forgery, and robbery dating back to the early 1990s.
“The defendant is a career criminal who assaulted a woman in public while carrying drugs,” Assistant District Attorneys Claire Love and Kevin Capps said in a statement. “He believed no one in this community would stop him. We thank our citizens who stood up for this victim when she was under attack.”
