According to Wayne County Sheriff Tim Catron a Wayne County man has been charged for attempted murder.
On June 18,2025, at approximately 10 pm Deputies Brad Tucker, Allen Cash and Jerry Coffey were dispatched to a residence located on Ky Highway 776 for an intoxicated male firing multiple gun shots inside his residence with family members inside and at his neighbors.
Once on scene the Deputies cleared the surrounding residences and located the male’s family members were no longer inside the residence and were safe. At that point Deputies setup a perimeter around the residence and began given the male verbal commands to exit his residence. Numerous attempts were made with no response. Once Sheriff Catron was on scene verbal commands continued unsuccessfully. Deputies with the Sheriff made a forceable entry into the residence and located the male in an upstairs bedroom very intoxicated. The male refused to follow verbal commands and then started resisting arrest and was then tazed. The male was then taken into custody.
Multiple guns were located inside the residence with one being under an upstairs child’s bed. Multiple spent ammo rounds were found throughout the residence with multiple bullet holes observed in walls and through windows.
At a next-door neighbor’s residence more bullet holes were found in an outside wall with one being in a front porch post which was within 2 or 3 feet of where the neighbor was standing when the shot was fired.
Deputy Tucker charged and arrested Garry W. Maziarz of Monticello, KY. for 1 count of attempted murder and 1 count of wanton endangerment-1st degree (discharge of a firearm).
Maziarz was lodged in the Wayne County Detention Center under a $100,000.00 cash or 2 times property value Bond.
The investigation continues with possible more criminal charges pending.
