Chaz Armstrong, 32, of O’Fallon Ill., was charged with one count of stealing a motor vehicle, a felony, stemming from a Feb. 1 incident. 

According to the probable cause statement filed by Warrenton Police Officer Robert Kamp, officers responded to a report of a stolen vehicle on Feb. 1. 

The victim told officers she and Armstrong had gotten into an argument and he had said he wanted to take her car back to his residence in Illinois.
