An Independence man is facing felony charges after authorities were called to the report of someone passed out behind the wheel of a vehicle that was still running at a gas pump at Muddy Creek Gas Station in Sedalia on Wednesday, March 24.

According to a probable-cause statement, the law-enforcement officer noticed a weapon in plain sight when he tapped on the driver’s-side window to wake up a sleeping Devin Moeller. In addition to the firearm- which Moeller said was loaded, authorities say they located some methamphetamine and found out the vehicle belonged to another person who did not give permission to Moeller to drive it.

Court documents say Moeller is charged with Class D Felonies for Possession of a Controlled Substance and Tampering with a Motor Vehicle in the First Degree; and a Class E Felony for Unlawful Use of a Weapon. Bond is set at $10,000 cash or surety.

Moeller was arraigned on Friday, March 26. His next hearing is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. on Tuesday, April 6, at Pettis County Circuit Court.
