A man was charged with two felonies after he allegedly stole a trailer and a bike after threatening to shoot someone.
Robert Crowley, 41, of Columbia, was charged with first-degree robbery and illegal gun possession. He is being held at the Boone County Jail without bond. A court appearance was held on Monday.
The probable cause statement says Crowley was stopped by police near the intersection of Primrose Drive and Rashid Court around 4:30 a.m. Sunday. His vehicle allegedly towed a stolen trailer that also contained a stolen bicycle, the statement says.
The victim allegedly told police that they came home and saw Crowley with another man on their property and the victim told them to leave, the statement says. Crowley then allegedly punched the victim and threatened to shoot him, court documents say.
Crowley’s passenger, Jason White, was charged with two misdemeanors: Illegally possessing drug paraphernalia and stealing. Two glass pipes were allegedly found in the vehicle and a probable cause statement says White allegedly admitted to being at the property while the theft occurred.
