David Remshardt, 27, of Bonne Terre is facing four felony charges stemming from an incident that took place on Sep. 17 at a St. Francois County residence: burglary in the first degree, armed criminal action, unlawful use of a weapon, and assault in the fourth degree.
According to the St. Francois County Sheriff’s Department’s probable cause statement (PCS), a deputy was dispatched in reference to a disturbance reported at a St. Francois County resident. Confidential Witness 1 (CW1) and Confidential Witness 2 (CW2) told the deputy that they had been out making door Dash deliveries when they got a call from CW1’s 12-year-old son. The Confidential Victim (CV, the son of CW1) said the defendant, Remshardt, came to their home with a firearm and pointed it at each of the five people who were present; he made threats to shoot and kill all of them.
CV said that he heard knocking at the front door, and thought it was his mother (CW1) coming back home from Door Dash deliveries, and he opened the door. Remshardt pushed past CV held a handgun, and went into a room and pointed the firearm at each person. CV stated that the defendant told every that the gun was a loaded 9mm and that he “wasn’t afraid to use it.”
In the PCS, the deputy reported that when he made contact with Remshardt, he did find a loaded Hi-Point 9mm in the defendant’s front pocket and the magazine held five rounds of ammunition. While the deputy transported the defendant, Remshardt made a variety of threatening statements including “I’ll kill them all.”
