By Tim SchmidtRecord Managing EditorA Warrenton man who police say went on a daylong crime spree that included robbing a gas station at gunpoint and running down a man with his truck will be sentenced this summer.Joseph R. Preis, of the 400 block of Pershing Avenue, entered an Alford plea to multiple felony charges during a court appearance May 5.He was charged with two counts of armed criminal action, first-degree robbery, first-degree assault, and stealing stemming from the July 2013 incidents.By entering an Alford plea, Preis does not admit guilt, but concedes there is enough evidence to convict him of the crimes.He is scheduled to be sentenced by Circuit Judge Wes Dalton on July 7.Police said Preis robbed the BP station in Warrenton on July 10, 2013, making off with $333.57 in cash and merchandise. He allegedly displayed a black revolver handgun during the incident.After robbing the store, the clerk said Preis left northbound on Highway 47 in a white Ford truck with lettering on the side, racks in the back and a back license plate cover with an eagle on it.During the investigation, police viewed a video surveillance tape that showed Preis approaching the counter, tossing plastic bags to the clerk and reaching to his left side for the gun. In the video, police said Preis points the gun at the clerk, then lays it on the counter and opens one of the plastic bags. The clerk is seen placing cash from the register into the plastic bag.Preis then puts the gun away on his right side, points toward the cigarette shelf and the clerk is observed placing several cigarette packs on the counter.Warrenton police, upon receiving information on Preis’ whereabouts, went to a home in the 1000 block of Frick Avenue where they arrested him.Earlier in the day, Preis is accused of running down a man with his truck in the 17000 block of Barry Glenn. According to court documents, the victim reported he saw a white F-250 pickup truck on the private driveway outside his home. The victim thought the driver was lost and approached the truck to see if Preis needed assistance. Preis gave the victim a non-existent address, police said, which made the victim suspicious and he asked the suspect to leave the area.Preis then allegedly accelerated his truck toward the victim, chasing him across his yard, striking him with the truck and pinning him against his own residence, authorities said. The man was not seriously injured. A month earlier, Preis was charged with domestic assault after an argument with his girlfriend allegedly turned physical after she confronted him about watching pornography, police said.Preis also entered an Alford plea in that case as well last week, according to online court records.Joseph Preis
