Second man charged in fatal Miller County crash
LAKE OZARK, Mo. (KMIZ)
A second man has been charged in relation to a Miller County crash that killed a woman early Sunday.
Anthony Floyd II, 23, of Eldon, was charged on Tuesday with leaving the scene of an accident and tampering with evidence. He is being held at the Miller County Jail without bond. A court date has not been set.
Khalil Manygoats, 26, of Phoenix, Arizona, was charged earlier this week with driving while intoxicated – causing the death of another and drug possession. He is being held at the Miller County Jail on a $200,000 bond. A case review was scheduled for 9 a.m. Monday, Sept 23.
The probable cause statement says Floyd was involved in the crash. Manygoats had previously said in court documents that he crashed his motorcycle on Highway 242 after he was cut off. Larose Spencer, 36, of Phoenix, Arizona, was killed in the crash.
A probable cause statement filed on Tuesday says that law enforcement received a call about the crash on Monday after the caller had overheard a conversation at a store. The statement claims Floyd hit Spencer.
The caller allegedly told police the Ford Escape Floyd drove during the accident was towed to their home by a tow company and that the family was trying to sell the vehicle, the statement says.
The Missouri State Highway Patrol interviewed Hi-Tech Autobody and Towing in Kaiser, “which handles a large amount of tows within the local area,” the statement says. The business had told the trooper that it towed a Ford Escape about two miles away from the accident, the statement says.
The business allegedly told law enforcement that they called Floyd’s father, who allegedly told them that Floyd was involved in a crash with a motorcycle, court documents say. The Ford had damage to its front and undercarriage, the statement says.
Troopers traveled to Floyd’s residence and saw the damaged vehicle, the statement says. Law enforcement then spoke with Floyd’s father, who allegedly “seemed aware of why we were there to speak with Floyd II, and he admitted to knowing about the crash which had been publicly announced by the Missouri State Highway Patrol,” the statement says.
