Columbia man charged after morning robbery of Centralia convenience store, using dump truck to drive off

CENTRALIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

A Columbia man is facing charges after he allegedly robbed a Centralia convenience store and stole a dump truck to getaway.

A Boone County prosecutor has charged Jonathan Morrow with first-degree robbery and first-degree tampering with a motor vehicle.

According to a probable cause statement, Morrow allegedly entered DC's convenience store on April 28 and took $884 in cash and four packs of cigarettes.

A victim told police that Morrow kept his hands inside his cover-alls and told the victim he "wasn't f**king around" while demanding the money.

Detectives then say Morrow went to Economy Asphalt and allegedly stole a dump truck and drove off.

A warrant has been issued for Morrow's arrest.
