Ryan Shiner
COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)
A Columbia man was sentenced to 15 years in prison on Friday after he pleaded guilty in September to firing six shots at another man last year during a fit of road rage.
Nathan Griffin, 34, pleaded guilty on Sept. 12 in Boone County court to first-degree assault and two counts of unlawful use of a weapon. Prosecutor Roger Johnson said Griffin must serve 85% of his sentence before being eligible for parole. He is currently being held at the Boone County Jail.
Court documents in previous reporting say Griffin was accused in two road rage incidents in the span of a couple of days in May 2024. Griffin allegedly almost crashed into a student driver’s vehicle on May 12, 2024, on Grindstone Parkway. An adult in the vehicle told the child to pull into a parking lot in the 3200 block of Rock Quarry Road, and Griffin followed them, documents in previous reporting say.
The man in the vehicle got out of the car to separate the children in the vehicle from himself and Griffin allegedly sped toward the man and fired six shots, previous reporting says. Police found all six shell casings and video footage from a church appeared to line up with the victim’s story, previous reporting shows.
Griffin allegedly admitted to shooting at the man and driving away when he was detained by police.

Two women who were previously charged with hindering a felony prosecution that ended with deputies exchanging gunfire with a homicide suspect have been charged with murder.
Lois Armour, 78, and Patty Armour, 51, both of Paris, Missouri, were both charged in Monroe County on Friday with second-degree felony murder. They are both still being held at the Randolph County Jail without bond.
Charles Armour, 57, was killed in a shootout last month with law enforcement after he was identified as a person of interest in a Ralls County homicide investigation.
A Randolph County deputy was hit by gunfire and flown to a hospital. Boggs wrote that the deputy is expected to make a full recovery after several surgeries.
Lois and Patty Armour were accused of hiding Charles Armour’s whereabouts to law enforcement officers when they asked if Charles Armour was at the residence the day of the shooting.
Both women are charged in the same incident in a separate case with hindering a felony prosecution.
Lois Armour has a hearing scheduled for 9:30 a.m. Monday in that case, while Patty Armour has a counsel status hearing set for 9:30 a.m. Wednesday.
Charles Armour is accused of killing Jonathan Floyd, 55, of Perry, Missouri.

Warmack is still listed on the Cole County Jail’s online roster as of Friday afternoon.
Court documents in previous reporting say Warmack was driving a Chevrolet SUV when he hit an electric scooter rider on Oct. 31 in the 3600 block of westbound Highway 50 in Jefferson City.

COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)
A bench trial has been scheduled in a Moberly homicide case.
David Kip Heyde, 68, of Moberly, was charged with second-degree murder in the shooting death of Bailey Scott.
Heyde waived his right to a jury trial on Friday and a bench trial was scheduled for 9 a.m. Friday, Feb. 6, 2026. His bond was also reduced to $100,000 on Friday, court records show. Previous reporting indicates he is being held at the Macon County Jail.
The probable cause statement says Moberly police were called to a report of shots being fired in the 900 block of East Logan Street on July 6. Heyde allegedly claimed self-defense in the shooting when he spoke with police.
Heyde claimed Scott, 23, hit him during an argument after she alleged he was “attempting to kill birds at the front of his property,” court documents say. Neighbors had talked with ABC 17 News the week of the shooting about ongoing allegations that Heyde put bird feed in the street in front of his home.
Heyde allegedly told police he fired two shots at Scott, court documents say. Scott was found with a gunshot wound in her right torso, the statement says.
The statement says Scott “had no obvious signs of trauma or injury to either of her hands.”
Previous reporting says Heyde has an expired peace officer’s license, and City of Moberly records say he was once an employee there.

A man was charged in Morgan County on Friday after he allegedly threatened to distribute nude photographs of a teenage girl.
Bryce Martin, 20, of Stover, was charged with sexual exploitation of a minor and three counts of having child porn. He is being held at the Morgan County Jail on a $150,000 bond.
The probable cause statement says law enforcement was called on Thursday after a caller said Martin tried to take the 17-year-old victim from a residence. The girl allegedly told deputies that she was in a “relationship” with Martin and that her father allowed her to go with him.
Another person in the probable cause statement told law enforcement that Martin had recently threatened to disseminate nude photos of the girl after a “breakup” occurred. Deputies also spoke with the victim’s father, who told law enforcement he did not want the girl to leave with Martin, was unaware of Martin threatening to leak photos and wanted to press charges, the statement says.
Martin allegedly admitted to receiving the photographs from the social media application Snapchat, with some dated 11 months’ prior, court documents say. Martin also allegedly admitted to threatening to distribute the photos because he was mad at the victim, court documents say.

Sunday marks 10 years since former UM System President Tim Wolfe resigned
Nia Hinson
COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)
In October and November 2015, the University of Missouri’s campus saw protests, hunger strikes, and ultimately, a change in leadership.
Students on campus were protesting racial inequalities and what many felt like was a lack of accountability from those in charge — specifically, former University of Missouri System President Tim Wolfe. Many Black students on campus said that they had been called racial slurs, were harassed on campus and faced discrimination.
All of which they claim Wolfe brushed off, leading to national attention.
In August 2015, the university announced it would no longer pay for graduate students’ health insurance. The decision was ultimately reversed, but led to rallies on campus. Former Missouri Student Association President Payton Head also posted on social media a month later that he had experienced racial discrimination.
The following month, MU Chancellor R. Bowen Loftin ordered diversity and inclusion training for all students and staff in 2016.
Concerned Student 1950 wasn’t satisfied.
The group — made up of student activists on campus — protested and boycotted, hoping the university would work to become a more inclusive place. The group staged a protest during the university’s homecoming parade on Oct. 10.
Protesters stood outside of Wolfe’s vehicle. After Wolfe did not respond to the group’s concerns or to claims that graduate student Jonathan Butler was bumped by a car, they took a more formal way of getting their point across. They released a list of demands 10 days later.
The list laid out several changes students wanted to see at the university. This included Wolfe’s resignation, along with a handwritten apology, the creation of a racial awareness and inclusion curriculum throughout campus, and the university’s percentage of black faculty and staff increasing to 10% by the 2017-2018 academic year.
Wolfe later met with the group, but didn’t agree to any of their demands.

Butler took things a step further. On Nov. 2, he began a hunger strike on campus, claiming he wouldn’t eat until Wolfe was removed from his position. It was a move that would quickly grow, with students of Concerned Student 1950 buying a tent and staking out near Carnahan Quadrangle. Tents would later fill the grass on the quad, and hundreds of students would stop by to show support.
Wolfe issued a statement addressing race issues on campus as Butler’s strike continued.
Five days later, on Nov. 7, minority athletes from the Missouri Tigers football team showed their support, jump-starting the national attention. The players vowed to stop participating in any football-related activities until Wolfe resigned or was removed, claiming he was negligent toward marginalized student experiences.

Mizzou Athletics later released a statement saying it supported its athletes’ right to try and tackle issues on campus. Missouri football coach Gary Pinkel also came out in support.
On Nov. 9, 2015, Wolfe resigned, and Loftin said he would also step down. That would put to an end what had become Butler’s week-long hunger strike.
In an email obtained by ABC 17 News months after his resignation, Wolfe listed several reasons for his decision to step away, including political pressure, the football team’s role and campus safety as key contributors. Wolfe wrote that his decision was largely motivated by a “significant pending event,” claiming law enforcement was made aware of a Ferguson, Missouri, protester on campus, and that there was a threat that more would come on Nov. 10.
In a news conference, Wolfe said at the time that his resignation was motivated by love and asked people to use it as a time to heal.
The protests also led to clashes with media, with MU communications professor Melissa Click being suspended after being caught on video trying to keep journalists away from protesters. Click later said she regretted her actions.
Missouri football players later resumed team activities and the University of Missouri Board of Curators announced Mike Middleton as the interim president for the UM System. The board also turned over MU chancellor responsibilities from Loftin to interim Chancellor Hank Foley.
ABC 17 News takes a closer look at what current students on MU’s campus think about the progress made within the last 10 years in a special report on Sunday at 10 on KMIZ.
