A man has been charged with five felonies after he allegedly shot out a glass window of a Columbia business in the 1900 block of North Providence Road on April 5.
George Raines, 38, was charged on Wednesday with illegal gun possession, unlawful use of a weapon, two counts of armed criminal action and one count of first-degree property damage. He is being held at the Boone County Jail without bond. His address is listed as Columbia on Casenet, while it’s listed as Higbee on the jail roster.
The probable cause statement says Raines’ mother saw him shoot the business’ window. The name of the business was not listed in court documents.
Raines then allegedly drove away in a pickup truck on Vandiver Drive and was eventually stopped by police near the roundabout on the road. Six Columbia police officers responded to the scene.
Raines is a felon and is not allowed to have a gun, the statement says. Police found the gun in Raines’ vehicle, court documents say.
