A 27-year-old El Campo man who shot his grandparents during a family argument will spend the next 15 years behind prison bars. Kristian Dre Cadriel stood before 23rd District Court Judge Ben Hardin last week to plea
guilty to two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Because Cadriel used a deadly weapon, he must serve half of the sentence before he can be considered eligible for parole. He was given credit for 95 days already served. Cadriel’s grandparents survived the Aug.7th attack.
