A Joplin man waived his preliminary hearing today in Jasper County Circuit Court and was bound over for trial on charges of receiving stolen property and illegally possessing a gun.
The next hearing for Frederick Utter Sr. (DOB 1964) is scheduled for 9 a.m. October 23 in Division One.
Utter was arrested following a Joplin Police Department investigation into his alleged possession of a stolen moped, according to the probable cause statement.
Eyewitness statements put Fredrick Utter in possession of a firearm that matched the description of one located by officers during a consent search. I also found 7 cartridges of 9mm Luger ammunition in Fredrick Utter's front left pocket. The ammunition matches what was inside the aforementioned firearm.
Upon further investigation it was found that Fredrick Utter has multiple felony convictions and the firearm was determined to be stolen out of the City of Joplin.
