The Texas church shooter has a disturbing history of domestic violence, including charges of animal cruelty and fracturing his infant stepson's skull
Devin Kelley once fractured his infant's skull, was arrested for animal cruelty, and had a history of harassing ex-girlfriends, according to a new report.
Kelley had a lengthy rap sheet. He once fractured his infant stepson's skull, was arrested for animal cruelty, and had a history of harassing ex-girlfriends, NBC News reported.
The former Air Force member was court-martialed in 2012 on two charges of assault at Holloman Air Force Base in New Mexico, according to the report. A source from the Air Force said Kelley was convicted of fracturing his infant stepson's skull and assaulting his first wife. He was given a bad conduct discharge in 2014, according to the report.
The report also cited two of Kelley's ex-girlfriends who said Kelley harassed and stalked them after they broke up.

"Years after dating me he would try to bribe me to hang out with him," Kelley's former girlfriend Katy Landry told NBC News. "He ended up assaulting me. He would stalk me by repeatedly calling me — even prank calling me, saying really weird stuff."
"That was another thing about him — he was very sick in the head … He would tell me very sick strange things," she said, without elaborating.
Another former girlfriend of Kelley's, who dated him when she was 13 and he was 18, detailed Kelley's disturbing behavior after they broke up.
"He somehow would always find out my number although none of my friends talked to him and he would constantly call me until I blocked his number," Brittany Adcock told NBC News. "Then I'd get calls from an unknown number so I've had to change my number quite a bit.
"He would offer me money to hang out with him quite a bit. There has been one point that I called the police because he was just calling me so much I wanted to report harassment."
