COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

A 19-year-old man was charged with two felonies and a misdemeanor after he allegedly pulled out a gun during a road rage Monday afternoon in downtown Columbia.

Denver Thai, of Columbia, was charged with unlawful use of a weapon, armed criminal action and fourth-degree assault. He is being held at the Boone County Jail on a $10,000 bond. A court date has not been scheduled.

The probable cause statement says Thai nearly crashed his red Nissan into another vehicle while pulling into the parking garage at Tenth and Cherry streets. He allegedly pulled out a gun and yelled at the man in the other vehicle before the victim drove off and called police, the statement says.

Police found the Nissan in the parking garage and Thai allegedly admitted to pulling out the gun, but denied pointing it at the man, court documents say.
