A robbery suspect who officials say shot at his victim and then led authorities on a chase Monday in Cole and Callaway counties faces a total of 10 charges out of both counties.
Police said someone from the suspect's vehicle also shot at an officer who was pursuing the man.
Court records show Cole County charged Dustin Felber, 30, with first-degree robbery, first-degree assault and armed criminal action.
Felber also faces a string of felony charges out of Callaway County: assault against a law enforcement officer, armed criminal action, discharging a firearm from a moving vehicle, unlawful possession of a firearm, first-degree endangering the welfare of a child, receiving stolen property and resisting arrest.
Felber is being held in the Cole County Jail without the possibility of bonding out. Cole County lists Felber's residency in Lebanon, while Callaway County says he is a Jefferson City man.
A Cole County Sheriff's Department probable cause statement shows Felber committed a robbery around 1:30 a.m. Monday at a home in the 5900 block of Upton Road.
The victim said he and Felber, whom he'd known since childhood, were at the victim's shop near his residence, drinking and smoking marijuana. During that time, the victim paid Felber $500 for tools, which included a heater, reciprocating saw, drill and drill bits.
As he was getting ready to leave, Felber suddenly pulled out a pistol and fired a round next to the victim's head and yelled at him to get down on the ground.
After the victim and Felber exchanged words, Felber grabbed a .22-caliber rifle and took the tools at gunpoint.
Felber got into a vehicle with another man, and Felber fired six to eight shots as the car sped off.
Around 10 a.m., Jefferson City police were assisting the sheriff's department in looking for Felber and saw his car at a motel on the south side of the city.
They attempted to stop Felber's vehicle, which didn't pull over. Felber and the other man were both in the vehicle at this point, along with a woman and a baby. A chase ensued and continued northbound on U.S. 54 to Missouri 94, then eastbound on 94.
As the pursuit left the Jefferson City limits, one of the occupants of the vehicle shot at the primary pursuing officer at least once, but the officer was not struck.
The pursuit continued into Tebbetts, at times going onto levees along the Missouri River, with multiple law enforcement agencies involved.
The pursuit eventually was terminated after the suspect's vehicle was disabled on a Callaway County road and went onto private property.
When he was taken into custody around 1 p.m., Felber was questioned by authorities. He denied ever being at the Upton Road location where the robbery occurred.
The victim gave authorities a description of the weapon Felber used in the robbery, and it matched the description of the gun thrown from the car during the chase.
A shoe print found on the dirt driveway of the Upton Road residence matched the shoes Felber was wearing when he was taken into custody, police said.
The baby was put into protective custody.
