Columbia armed robbery suspect faces three felonies

COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

A 19-year-old Columbia man has been charged with three felonies in connection with a reported armed robbery in east Columbia.

Prosecutors charged Jordan Hunt on Monday with first-degree robbery, unlawful use of a weapon and armed criminal action. He remained in the Boone County Jail on Monday afternoon on no bond.

A probable cause statement says Hunt and an unnamed minor robbed the victim at gunpoint while riding in a car at about 1 p.m. Friday. The robbery happened while the vehicle was parked in front of 605 Talon Road, the statement says.

The victim said Hunt asked to see his pistol, and he agreed. The minor took the gun and pointed it at the victim while Hunt pulled out his own gun and trained it on the victim, the statement says. The victim then got out of Hunt's vehicle, according to the statement.

The victim has known Hunt for years and identified him to the police, the statement says. Hunt and the minor were arrested at Hunt's mother's home, the statement says. Police say they found the victim's stolen gun in a bathroom at the home.
