Judge gives bond to man charged with manslaughter in deadly crash with scooter

COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

A Cole County Judge on Friday decided to give bond to a man accused of killing a teenager in a crash last week.

Jervontaye Warmack, 32, was charged with second-degree involuntary manslaughter, two counts of child endangerment and misdemeanor driving while intoxicated. He was previously held without bond, but Judge Joseph Shetler lowered it to $20,000 on Friday, according to court filings.

Warmack is still listed on the Cole County Jail’s online roster as of Friday afternoon.

Court documents in previous reporting say Warmack was driving a Chevrolet SUV when he hit an electric scooter rider on Oct. 31 in the 3600 block of westbound Highway 50 in Jefferson City. 

Police reported smelling marijuana on Warmack, but he denied the accusation, previous reporting shows. Warmack failed a field sobriety test, court documents say.

The 15-year-old victim was identified as Antony Reyes in a news release from the company GoFundMe.
