Probable cause: Joplin man jumps on car, terrorizes 17, 10-year-old girls

 David Warren Riley (DOB 1979), Joplin, is being held in the city jail on $25,000 bond, cash or surety, after allegedly harassing two girls at Casey's, 403 N. Main Thursday.

From the probable cause statement:

I contacted the reporting party by phone {She} stated her nieces who she has custody of, identified as V1 and V2, went to the business. V1 is a 17-year-old female and V2 is a 10-year-old female. 

{She} stated V1 called her and stated, Riley, a white male wearing all black with tattoos was yelling at them and banging on the windows to her car. {She} stated she could hear banging over the phone and V1 and V2 were screaming in terror. 







She stated V1 advised she was unable to leave due to Riley being too close to the vehicle and she was afraid to hit him with her vehicle. She stated V1 advised Riley opened her car's door and she was scared he was going to get into the vehicle. 

She stated V1 was able to get the car door closed and leave the scene. {The woman} stated she went to the business to contact Riley. She stated she contacted Riley who yelled at her. 

A police officer arrived at the business and Riley fled to the rear of the business. She stated after the officer left Riley returned to the front and an employee handed him a bottle of alcohol. {She}stated was willing to pursue charges. 

I contacted V1 to interview her about the incident. V1 stated she took her sister, V2, to the business and parked at one of the gas pumps. V1 stated V2 pointed out Riley who was sitting near the front doors of the business. 

V1 stated Riley looked at them and winked. V1 stated she and V2 waited in the vehicle for Riley to leave before entering the business. V1 stated Riley approached the vehicle and began banging on the windows and yelling at them. V1 stated she was terrified Riley was going to hurt her and V2 and she called {her aunt}. 







V1 stated Riley climbed on top of the vehicle and looked to be recording a video with his phone. V1 stated she covered her and V2's faces with a blanket as she was afraid he was going to try and find them if she left. 

V1 stated while hiding under the blanket she heard her car door open. V1 stated she was terrified Riley was trying to enter the vehicle to get to her and attempted to drive away. V1 stated her vehicle has a safety feature which prevents the vehicle from driving if a door is open. V1 stated she was able to close the door then left the scene. I arrested Riley and stated he would not speak to me any further.

He's not guilty

He unfortunately has very serious mental problems like schizophrenia and mixing that with alcohol is not a great outcome.

5:04AM, So, should society then have to live in fear of these people with mental or social problems, like Tyler Robinson, who killed Charlie Kirk? I think not! America is tired of these criminals who do heinous crimes and then have their attorneys and legal teams try for decades to argue to keep them alive on death row. The median annual cost per prisoner in the U.S. is around $65,000. Ranging costs from $23,000 to over $100,000 per year for inmates across the US. More than half of all prisoners currently sentenced to death in the U.S. have been on death row for more than 18 years.

749 needs to be reminded that life is not like the recent "Barbi" movie where everything makes sense. On the contrary, a geat deal of the problem is radicalization and both mags and dems are equally at fault. The very disappointing lack of leadership the gaslighting orange peel recently stated on faux news justifying his followers was sick. Mags are more than just angry at crime and immigration, they commit seditious acts of violence (1/6), murder Michigan's former democratic state rep, seek to kidnap the governor of Michigan, try to burn down the home and murder the governor of Pennsylvania. We could go on. Until both sides understand this and tone down the Civil war rhetoric, some other political individual will probably die and we'll be another step closer to losing most all of our freedoms by this administration because their need for absolute control will be supported by less than half the country and a majority of maga minions in congress.

10:57AM, We all think you forgot about the disappointing leadership of your fearless Sleepy Autopen Joe Biden who was comatose for 3 of the 4 years he served in office. Who felt that the Constitution, Bill of Rights, and the Laws of the Land did not require him or his party to follow, who allowed 10-Million Illegal Aliens to walk right into our country and then setup shop in all the sanctuary cities, paid for by US Taxpayers. While the Leftist Liberal Demon Democrats, Laughed and Rejoiced that a Religious Man, Charles Kirk, was Gunned Down by Tyler Robinson, who like most of the people in the community, Robinson, his parents and two brothers attended the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints Church - MORMON!!! Robinson had registered as nonpartisan in Utah, and had he come from such a Religious Mormon Family - Why didn't he go on a Mission, according to the Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter-Day Saints, "single men serve missions for two years and single woman serve missions for 18 months." Doesn't sound like he was as Religious as everyone keeps saying!

Should we all derive that Tyler Robinson, was dealing with mental or social problems because he and his partner was in a gay transitioning relationship -

More predictable prolific pontificating preposterousness presented for your enjoyment by the PPPP! If it weren't so filled with hate and bigotry I'd be laughing.

More preposterous prolific pontificating performed perfectly for your enjoyment by the PPPP! So much hate, bigotry, and religiophobia. Your "facts" obviously come from rightwing conspiracy loving hatemongers. Your continued obsession with past history doesn't justify your rightwing arguments that make no sense and give off the appearance that you just walked for the first time, out of your maga/qanon cave.

I helped this guy with a place to stay and food for a night. I hate to see that his encouraging words that he had have lead to him obviously not getting his shit together and still being homeless on the street. I wish better for people, but people have to want to be better for their own selves as well..
