Brady had been convicted of assault, robbery and three counts of felony burglary in December 2010. By March of last year, he had served the minimum period of a sentence of 28 months to 10 years, and he was released from prison on June 25, said William Soule, a probation and parole supervisor in Vermont.
Crook said Brady was charged and convicted of three burglaries, including the 2008 theft of a safe from a McDonald’s restaurant that contained $4,000.
2009 home invasion
The most serious crime was a home invasion robbery in 2009 at the home of a woman who suffered from a traumatic brain injury and used medical marijuana to alleviate her pain. Brady and another man thought the woman’s teenage son was growing and selling marijuana and broke into the home intending to rob him of supposed drug profits, according to The Herald, a newspaper in Randolph, Vt.
Brady and his accomplice were both wearing ski masks and wielding baseball bats when they smashed through the glass doors of the home, demanding cash. The woman told a Vermont court that Brady pulled a knife across her arm five times, drawing blood and cutting deeper each time, while haranguing her for money she did not have.
Judge Patricia Zimmerman found mitigating circumstances surrounding the case. Brady suffered from a bipolar condition and post-traumatic stress disorder stemming from the stabbing deaths of his father and an uncle in Connecticut when Brady was 12. While Brady was in custody awaiting trial for the robbery and assault, his attorney described him as a well-liked, model prisoner who had earned a high school diploma while behind bars and had quit drinking before his arrest, according to The Herald.
When Vermont correction officials released Brady in June, they enrolled him in a program of supervised release in the community. Brady was to remain in the program until 2020, but was reported missing four months later after he was charged with shooting deer out of season and with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, Soule said.
Brady was also serving a federal sentence for theft of explosives and was on two years’ probation with federal authorities at the same time he was serving his state sentence, Soule said.
The federal case involved dynamite stolen from a quarry. He attempted to trade it for drugs, Soule said.
“That deal went wrong,” Soule said.

What happens? Some NE judge goes soft on the guy, and he gets let out less than three years after a series of serious offenses (including violence/homeinvasion/theftofDYNAMITE). Predictably, he rewards this judge's foolish errand into naievete by shooting a NC police officer four times at close range.
