Gregory Dewayne Polley, 26, Longview was arrested Tuesday night in Longview on a parole violation. Tyler Investigators obtained an arrest warrant last night for Polley issued by Judge Kennedy for 1st degree Murder. Polley’s bond was set at $500,000 dollars and he remains in Gregg County Jail. Adrian Earl Blankenship Jr., 22, Longview was arrested Sunday on misdemeanor motor vehicle and driving violations. Judge Kennedy signed the arrest warrant for 1st Degree Murder and placed a $500,000 bond on Blakenship.
Authorities say Nicole Cartwright left Club REO December 24th to meet with family and friends, also from Longview, at the car wash on West Bow Street. Once at the car wash a disturbance occurred in the parking lot between four females in a gray or blue car with dark tinted windows, possibly a Pontiac, and a group of individuals in a red Dodge Challenger. Shots were fired, striking Ms. Cartwright who later died at a local hospital. Investigators have determined that Ms. Cartwright, who was also from Longview, was not involved in the disturbance nor was she in either vehicle.
