Ace Mohr bound over for trial on armed robbery, assault charges, judge reduces bond

Ace Mohr, 25, Carthage, waived his preliminary hearing on armed robbery and assault charges today in Jasper County Circuit Court and was bound over for trial.

Mohr, who was already awaiting trial on a felony assault charge and is on probation after pleading guilty to selling heroin and receiving stolen property, was being held without bond in the Jasper County Jail.

Judge John Nicholas, following a request for bond reduction from Mohr's lawyer, public defender Daniel John Pawlowicz, set bond at $250,000 cash or surety.

The charges stem from an October 27 incident investigated by the Carthage Police Department in which Mohr allegedly beat a Carthage man with brass knuckles and stole his wallet, phone and watch.

The charges against Mohr were spelled out in the probable cause statement:

On 10/27/2018 (the victim) was contacted at Mercy McCune-Brooks Hospital where he reported an assault and robbery to the Carthage Police Department.

On 10/27/2018 (the victim) was attacked and hit repeatedly on the face and head with brass knuckles by Ace Nolan Mohr at 1200 Regan St. Carthage, Jasper County, Missouri.

During the assault Ace stole (the man's) wallet (unknown items inside it), black in color Android smartphone (unknown make or model) and black Timex watch. Per Mercy Hospital records (the victim's) injuries were a swollen and tender left eye which (the victim) was unable to open; facial fractures of the orbital bones; facial fractures of the zygomatic process and facial fractures of the maxillary sinus all on the left side of his face.
