Jefferson City man charged following alleged armed robbery
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (KMIZ)
A Jefferson City man was charged on Tuesday after an armed robbery was reported to police, according to court documents.
Damon Davis was charged with first-degree accessory to armed robbery, accessory to first-degree assault, delivery of a controlled substance and armed criminal action. He is being held at the Cole County Jail without bond. A court date has not been scheduled.
According to the probable cause statement, a person described as the victim arrived to the lobby of the Jefferson City Police Department with “obvious injuries to his mouth” including a “swollen upper lip and stitches above his right eye.” The victim claimed he was playing a dice game with friends at Capital City Apartments in the 500 block of Elm Street.
Court documents say the victim stated he was approached by two people – who are described as defendants in the probable cause statement -- one of which allegedly hit him in the face twice with a gun. One of the people pointed the gun at the victim and told him to empty his pockets, while the other one allegedly took $600 and an iPhone, the statement says. The victim ran from the scene and was treated at St. Mary’s Hospital in Jefferson City, the statement says.
The victim allegedly gave police photos of the two people and Davis was arrested. The statement says police searched Davis’ vehicle and found a gun, 364.7 grams of marijuana, packaging material, a digital scale and $1,046 of cash, the statement says. Davis allegedly denied knowing about the robbery.
In another case from 2023, Davis was charged in Cole County with second-degree drug trafficking, illegal use of a weapon, illegal gun possession, drug possession and armed criminal action. His bond in that case was revoked on Tuesday.
