COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

A Rolla woman is accused of armed robbery at a convenience store on Friday.

Samantha Feeler, 31, was charged with first-degree attempted robbery, first-degree assault, unlawful use of a weapon and armed criminal action. She is being held at the Phelps County Jail on a $250,000 bond. A confined docket hearing is scheduled for 8:30 a.m. Tuesday.

The probable cause statement says Feeler pulled out a knife at the Sinclair convenience store in the 2000 block of North Bishop Avenue and threatened to kill the clerk if they did not open the cashier drawer.

About 50 minutes later, she allegedly pulled out the same knife and tried to rob a woman who was seated in a car at the Walmart parking lot at 500 South Bishop Avenue, the statement says. Feeler tried to stab the woman through an open, but the woman screamed and rolled up the window, the statement says.

Feeler was then detained inside the Walmart and resisted arrest, according to court documents. While she was being booked at the jail, she allegedly tried to take an officer’s stun gun, court documents claim.
