A judge in Dixon County revoked the bond for Cody Ragsdale on a state motion after witnesses and law enforcement described an October 2024 shooting at a South Bear Creek Road residence and a February 2025 confrontation at Thunder Alley.

Douglas Weaver Jr., a witness called by the state, testified that after an Oct. 20, 2024, altercation at a gas station he was followed to his home and later heard multiple gunshots. "You just start hearing gunshots going off," Weaver testified, describing about 20 shell casings recovered in his driveway and a bullet strike that penetrated the side of his trailer and struck a gun safe.

Detective Jim Gardner of the Dickson County Sheriff's Office told the court he recovered approximately 20 spent shell casings at the Weaver residence and preserved surveillance footage from Tuffy's Market that shows both Weaver and Ragsdale in the store prior to the parking-lot confrontation. Gardner said the store video showed Weaver approach the driver'side window, swing a bat and strike the side mirror, and that he later collected a damaged bullet fragment found inside the trailer. Forensic testing on that fragment, Gardner said, was too damaged to yield a caliber match.

Officer Joel Moss of the City of Dixon Police Department testified that officers ultimately made a felony traffic stop and found a semiautomatic handgun in Ragsdale's jacket pocket after Ragsdale made a spontaneous utterance referencing the Thunder Alley incident.

Defense counsel urged the court to consider alternatives to detention, noting the defendant's work and child-care responsibilities and suggesting GPS monitoring, but the prosecutor argued Ragsdale had been charged with multiple aggravated-assault counts and violated a protective order. The judge cited the statutory text referenced in the record and concluded the state had shown sufficient proof to revoke bond: "So I revoke his bond," the judge said, ordering Ragsdale held pending further proceedings.

The judge noted unresolved evidentiary gaps in the record: the bowling-alley (Thunder Alley) video could not be obtained from the venue, and the recovered bullet fragment was too damaged for a ballistic match. The court recorded that a DNA swab related to the gas-station spit was submitted for testing. The clerk was instructed to set the next court date with Judge Wallace; the court announced Feb. 11 as the next hearing date.

What remains unresolved: investigators recovered multiple firearms during the post-arrest investigation, but Detective Gardner testified that the strikes and recovered ammunition did not match the firearms made available for testing. Counsel and law enforcement told the court some video sources and evidence remain unavailable or inconclusive pending further investigation.
