A Sedalia man is facing a felony charge for allegedly shooting a neighbor with a BB gun on April 30.
According to a probable-cause statement, a woman suffered a wound to her upper left chest, and some blood was visible on the outside of her shirt. Authorities say a welt was on her chest where she said she was struck. The woman told authorities whom she believed shot the BB in her direction.
During a warranted search of her neighbor’s property, authorities reportedly found a BB gun and some marijuana.
According to online court documents, a warrant has been served and 33-year-old Jacob Zimmerman has been charged with a Class D Felony for Assault in the Second Degree and two misdemeanors– one for possession of 11 to 35 grams of marijuana. Zimmerman posted surety bond on May 2.
Zimmerman’s arraignment hearing is scheduled to be held at 9 a.m. on Thursday, May 17, at Pettis County Circuit Court.
