A Sedalia man who allegedly held a knife to a woman’s throat and threatened to kill her on Sunday, September 16, has been charged with multiple felonies.
According to a probable-cause statement, the woman told authorities that 46-year-old David Steinbach became upset, hit her with a closed fist, held a knife to her throat, threatening to kill her, and later swung a can of mace and smashed a water bucket that was in front of her bedroom door– allegedly saying “This is what’s gonna happen to you.”
According to online court documents, a warrant has been served and Steinbach has been charged with Class E Felonies for Domestic Assault in the Third Degree, Harassment in the First Degree and Unlawful Use of a Weapon- Exhibiting; and an Unclassified Felony for Armed Criminal Action. Bond has been set at $65,000 cash or surety.
Steinbach’s arraignment hearing is scheduled to be held at 10:30 a.m. on Tuesday, September 18, at Pettis County Circuit Court.
