A downtown Columbia shooting suspect is now facing a federal charge of felon in possession of a firearm.

Christopher Michael Sledd is charged with assault, unlawful use of a firearm, armed criminal action and unlawful possession of a firearm in Boone County after a Nov. 6 shooting.

According to a probable cause statement, a bouncer said Sledd was mad because he couldn't get into The Gold Bar Club and then Sledd came back later and tried to come inside before pulling a gun out of his pocket and firing it into the air.

Sledd is being held without bond in the Boone County Jail. According to online documents, Sledd is considered a flight risk and a danger to the community.

Sledd has a preliminary hearing in Boone County on next Monday.
