Wagner arraigned for teen's death

From Enterprise Staff

Roy Grant Wagner, 41 of The Woodlands, was arraigned Tuesday in the 258th District Court before visiting Judge Larry Standley of Harris County. Wagner was indicted by a Polk County grand jury in September for the felony charges of murder, manslaughter and failure to stop and render aid (fatality collision) stemming from the Sept. 24, 2021 crash on FM 350 South which took the life of 18-year-old Livingston High School Senior Cole Overstreet.

Wagner, through his attorney Wayne Hill of Houston, pled “not guilty” to the three charges. During Tuesday’s proceedings, Standley set an additional bond for Wagner in the amount of $50,000 on Wagner’s recent indictments for murder and manslaughter. Wagner was then taken into custody by deputies with the Polk County Sheriff’s Office until he could post bond.

He had previously made bond in the amount of $250,000 following his initial arrest for failure to stop and render aid on Sept. 26, 2021. In addition to the new bond amount, Standley added conditions to all of Wagner’s bonds that he not drive any motor vehicle, report monthly to the Polk County probation department, submit to random drug and alcohol tests, and maintain a curfew at his residence between 8 p.m. and 6 a.m. The next court setting in the case is scheduled to be held before Standley on Nov. 29, 2022.
