Allegation: Joplin man held gun to woman's head, beat, choked her


The Jasper County Prosecuting Attorney's office filed domestic assault and burglary charges today against a Joplin man who allegedly entered a woman's home Saturday without her knowledge, then held a gun to her head and beat and choked her.

Collis Eugene Jones (DOB 1978), who is being held in the Jasper County Jail on a $30,000 cash-only bond, entered a not guilty plea this morning during his arraignment in Jasper County Circuit Court. A bond reduction hearing is scheduled for 8:30 a.m. Wednesday before Judge Joseph Hensley.







According to the probable cause statement, Jones' alleged victim arrived at her home and discovered her house key was missing from the key chain.

{She} saw that her front door was cracked open and when she peered into the house {Jones} pulled her into the house by her hair. {She} advised she was choked by {Jones}with one hand and he held a gun to her head telling her, "I'm going to kill you."

For the next 20 minutes, Jones beat the woman, according to the statement.
