Due to the original documents filed with the court system that contained an individuals name spelled incorrectly, information was put out by the Saline County Sheriff’s Office and reported by KMMO on our website and Facebook page regarding Jason Matthew Richie (DOB 7/18/1977), of Gilliam Missouri. Corrections have been made to the court documents and those court documents have been reissued to KMMO for the following story.
A warrant has been issued, and authorities are trying to locate a Gilliam man, who has been charged with multiple felonies in relation to a domestic disturbance on January 8, 2018.
According to a probable-cause statement, 40-year-old Jason Matthew Richie is alleged to have struck a woman several times with his fist in her chest area, causing her to fall and hit her head on a couch and stole and crashed the victim’s vehicle. While trying to leave the scene, Richie reportedly hit the woman with the vehicle, causing injuries to her back and lower body, and nearly hit another person, who reportedly had to be pushed out of the way.
According to online court documents, Richie has been charged with a Class C Felony for Endangering the Welfare of a Child in the First Degree- Physical Injury- No Sexual Conduct; a Class D Felony for Assault in the Second Degree; and a Class E Felony for Domestic Assault in the Third Degree. Bond has been set at $7,500 cash only, with special unspecified conditions.
Richie’s initial hearing at Saline County Circuit Court is pending.
