COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)
State Rep. Anthony Ealy (D-Grandview) has been released from the Cole County Jail.
Ealy, 32, was arrested last week after he allegedly made threats to shoot someone outside of a Jefferson City business while “a family was making arrangements for a deceased family member,” per court documents.
He is charged in Cole County with disturbing the peace and fourth-degree assault, both misdemeanors.
Court filings from Monday show Ealy was released under his own recognizance and has been ordered to have no contact with the victim. A hearing in the case is scheduled for 9 a.m. Tuesday, Nov. 17.
Ealy was reelected to his seat in the Missouri House last week.
