The suspect from Sunday’s violent road rage incident in Ascension Parish is in custody. Sheriff Bobby Webre said the victim 59-year-old Scott Gray, who has stage IV cancer was severely beaten and 37-year-old Bryan Cage of Zachary turned himself in after the incident made headlines.
“He’s where he needs to be and that’s in the Ascension Parish Jail. I did get at least some information that our victim is home and is recovering and doing ok. Not great but doing ok,” said Webre.

Webre said this case involved teamwork from law enforcement in Ascension, Livingston, and East Baton Rouge parishes and he credits the community for their tips that led to Cage’s arrest. Webre said so far Cage is charged with second-degree battery and hit and run which is a felony. Webre said this was not Cage’s first run-in with the law.
“We know he’s served at least ten years in the Department of Corrections for armed robbery. He’s been arrested before for battery on a police officer, flight from a police officer, parole violation, and damage to property. So he’s not unaware of what the inside of a jail looks like,” said Webre.
Webre said there could be more charges added and Cage might not be the only one facing prosecution.
“We’re going to look at all those statutes of the law and see if there’s anything else we can apply. We do know that there may have been someone else in the truck with him, so that’s still some options there too. It’s an ongoing investigation,” said Webre.
In addition to cancer, Gray lost a leg from a motorcycle accident some 20 years ago.
