Posted

A Wright City man faces criminal charges stemming from an incident earlier this year when he allegedly wielded an axe in a threatening manner and damaged another man’s camper.

Demetrius Robinson was charged Friday, Sept. 25, with felony exhibiting a weapon and misdemeanor second-degree property damage in connection with the Feb. 7 incident.

Around 3:45 p.m. that day, deputies were dispatched to an address in Warren County, the exact location of which is not specified in publicly available court records, in response to a report of an argument that had escalated.

While arguing with the victim over a camper, Robinson allegedly grabbed an axe and began hitting the camper, causing damage to the siding and wooden frame. 

While holding the axe and walking toward the victim, Robinson also allegedly threatened to physically assault him.

A warrant for Robinson’s arrest has been issued, with his bond set at $20,000 cash only.
