Twenty-Year-Old Charged in Firearm Robbery | Jefferson City News

A 20-year-old man named Lance Graves is locked up in Boone County facing serious charges after a brazen robbery: two counts of first-degree robbery and two counts of armed criminal action. The victim, who drove from Sullivan to Columbia to buy a gun off Facebook Marketplace, paid $400 only to be robbed, threatened with a gun, and even demanded their clothes and shoes. Video footage later surfaced showing Graves holding a matching weapon. Charges were filed July 17th, he was arrested July 20th, and is now held without bond.
