COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)
A Columbia man has been charged with three felonies after he allegedly pulled out a gun and took a Rolex from someone who was selling it in a Casey’s parking lot.
Deon Webb, 21, is charged with first-degree robbery, armed criminal action and unlawful use of a weapon. He is being held at the Boone County Jail without bond. A hearing was held on Monday.
The probable cause statement says the victim and a witness drove to a Casey’s location on Clark Lane in Columbia in order to sell a watch to Webb.
Webb allegedly went into the witness’ car, tried on the watch and walked away while flashing a gun, court documents say a witness said. The victim allegedly told police that Webb pulled out the gun, but did not point it at him, the statement says.
Video from the scene allegedly showed Webb having his hand near his pocket, but court documents did not describe a gun being seen in the video, the statement says.
