COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

An Eldon man was charged in Pettis County after he allegedly attacked another man with a metal bar and rammed his truck into the man’s vehicle on Sept. 26.

Tyler McCue, 50, was charged with first-degree burglary, second-degree assault, armed criminal action, leaving the scene of an accident and first-degree property damage. A court date has not been scheduled.

The probable cause statement says the victim was at a trailer with another person when McCue grabbed a woman out of the trailer and pulled her into his truck. McCue then allegedly hit the victim with a metal bar and then used a truck to hit the victim’s vehicle, causing more than $3,000 worth of damage, the statement says.

The victim had a large cut on the left side of his head and required five staples to shut it, a deputy wrote.

McCue allegedly denied the encounter occurring, the statement says.
