A Vienna man was charged with several felonies in Maries County after he allegedly assaulted a woman on Nov. 7.
Brian Wagner was charged with second-degree domestic, unlawful use of a weapon, second-degree kidnapping and armed criminal action. A court date has not been scheduled.
The probable cause statement says Wagner began yelling at the victim after he accused her of sending screenshots of a conversation to another person. That then led to him choking, restraining and assaulting the victim and claimed afterward he wanted to kill her, the statement says.
Wagner allegedly refused to let the victim leave and shoved her into a wall, the statement says. He then allegedly placed the barrel of a shotgun under his chin, told the victim to pull the trigger and claimed her DNA was on the gun, the statement says.
The victim allegedly convinced Wagner she would head home, but she drove herself to an emergency room and had muscle strain and tissue bruising, the statement says.
