Gregory J. Pulley Jr., 28, of Fort Dodge, is facing two counts of attempted murder: one for the shooting of Marquez Clayton, 23, of Fort Dodge, last November; and one for the shooting at Yesway, 115 N. 22nd St., in December.

Pulley was arrested Wednesday morning during a search warrant execution at 2355 Eighth Ave. N., according to Fort Dodge Police Chief Kevin Doty.

Members of the Fort Dodge/Webster County Special Emergency Response Team executed the warrant.

“The warrant execution itself was the culmination of a long and complex investigation into multiple incidents that have been reported recently within our city,” Doty said.

In addition to the shootings, Pulley was also charged with second-degree theft from an incident reported on Dec. 21, 2016.

It’s alleged that Pulley had possession of a stolen amplifier, among other equipment, which was later pawned for money at a local pawn shop.

Pulley also faces another count of second-degree theft for allegedly depositing fraudulent checks into a bank account.

In addition, he was charged with four controlled substance violations and ongoing criminal conduct.

Pulley made his initial appearance in Webster County Magistrate Court Thursday morning on all nine charges.

Due to a conflict of interest involving one of the magistrate judges, District Associate Court Judge Angela Doyle presided over Pulley’s hearing.

When Doyle asked for a recommendation for bond, Ryan Baldridge, first assistant Webster County attorney, asked for cash-only bonds on all cases.

He said Pulley is the subject of multiple ongoing police investigations and, according to Baldridge, Pulley has been involved with three drug buys.

Baldridge added that during the Clayton shooting, six shots were fired at the victim as he was in his car.

And the Yesway shooting “is a reflection of the defendant’s violent tendencies. He fired into the Yesway 12 times at 10 p.m. with multiple innocent bystanders in the store,” Baldridge said.

He added that, although Pulley has a Fort Dodge address, he spends much of his time in Des Moines.

Doyle agreed with Baldridge’s recommendation and set bond at $150,000 cash-only on both attempted murder charges.

Combined with the bonds in the other cases, Pulley is being held in the Webster County Jail on a total $355,000 bond.

Clayton’s shooting happened on Nov. 9, 2016, around 7:40 p.m.

Officers responded to the Mardale Apartments, 707 Seventh Ave. N., for a report of shots fired.

While en route, officers received a second call saying Clayton had been shot and was in the 10 block of South Ninth Street.

Doty said police determined that Clayton had been shot on Seventh Avenue North and had moved to Ninth Street before police arrived.

Clayton’s injuries were described as non-life-threatening by Doty.

The Yesway shooting happened on Dec. 15, 2016, and was reported at 10 p.m.

According to the criminal complaint, Pulley allegedly followed a man to the Yesway store and fired multiple rounds into the building at the victim.

The man wasn’t hurt, nor was anybody else in the store, though the shooting caused damage to the building.

In addition to his initial appearance on all nine of his charges, Pulley was also ordered to stay away from both Clayton and the man from the Yesway shooting. That man was not identified by authorities.

Pulley’s preliminary hearing is Jan. 20.

Doty said multiple agencies assisted with the various investigations, including the Iowa Department of Public Safety, the Iowa Department of Narcotics Enforcement and the Webster County Drug Task Force.

Additionally, Doty said citizens who submitted tips through Webster County Crime Stoppers helped in the investigations.

“Without the specific help of good citizens willing to go above and beyond to assist our efforts, we would not have been able to resolve these cases as effectively as they have turned out,” Doty said.
