A 36-year-old Green Ridge man is facing felony charges for allegedly breaking into a residence and assaulting another man on May 3, 2021, in Sedalia.

According to a Sedalia Police report, officers responded to a residence where Gary D. Horn showed up in a drunken rage in violation of an ex parte, forced open the door and assaulted the resident. The victim appeared to have been punched several times, and he was actively bleeding from his nose and mouth area.

The officer detected the odor of intoxicants emanating from Horn, whose speech also was slurred. The officer also noted the front door had been forced open; a pane of glass on the door was smashed; and the door frame was in pieces on the ground.

Court documents say Horn is charged with a Class B Felony for First-Degree Burglary; a Class E Felony for Third-Degree Assault; and two misdemeanors.

Horn was arraigned on May 4. His next hearing is scheduled to be held at 1:30 p.m. on Thursday, May 13, at Pettis County Circuit Court.
