CAMDEN COUNTY, Mo. (KMIZ)

A Sunrise Beach man faces multiple felonies after Camden County Sheriff's deputies say an elderly man was seriously injured.

Michael Barker, 28, was charged with first-degree domestic assault, stealing and fourth-degree assault of a special victim.

Deputies say Barker was arrested after a 71-year-old man was found behind a door with wounds over his head and body.

The release said the assault victim was flown to a Columbia hospital in serious condition.

Deputies did not say what linked Barker to the alleged assault.

Barker was placed in the Camden County Correctional Facility on a 24-hour hold, deputies said. Online court records say he was denied bond.
