A Neosho man is being held in the McDonald County Detention Center on a $5,000 cash-only bond on a domestic assault charge after allegedly shooting his brother Monday.
Christopher Todd Drum, 27, shot his brother because he believed he was a snitch, according to the probable cause statement.
From the probable cause statement:
On September 8, 2025 at approximately 2122 hours, I Corporal John Langert was dispatched to {location redacted} in reference to a gunshot wound call. While en route, dispatch advised {victim's name redacted} was shot around the neck and head area.
Upon my arrival, I was met by the victim and Witness 1. The victim was holding a towel over his left ear, while blood dripped from his ear. {He} stated Christopher Drum, his brother, had shot him.
The victim stated the suspect took off with {Witness 2}. While medical personnel cared for the victim's wounds, I spoke with Witness 1. {He} stated he heard the victim and the suspect arguing. {He} stated the suspect and the victim have a volatile relationship and they do not get along. Witness 1 stated after a brief five-minute argument, he heard one or two gunshots.
Witness 1 stated after this, the suspect drove off in a white lifted Chevrolet Silverado pickup. {He} stated the suspect was upset with the victim because there was a rumor that the victim was "snitching."
Witness 1 stated approximately a month prior, the suspect and he had a brief conversation. {He} stated during this conversation, the suspect informed witness 1 to "watch his back." {He} stated when he asked about the comment, the suspect stated, "I heard he's snitching."
Witness 1 stated the suspect made statements during this conversation {including} "It don't bother me a bit to f--k my brother up."
Witness 1 stated another comment that was made "Yeah, man, I don't care. If I find out he snitched, I'm gonna shoot his ass."
Newton County Sheriff's deputies, as well as Missouri state troopers located the vehicle near State Highway 60 in Newton County. Witness 2 was driving the vehicle and a rifle was observed behind the driver's seat on the floorboard. There was also a bullet hole shot through the windshield of the vehicle. The suspect was located near the scene walking along the roadway looking for his phone.

I must have missed something a $5,000 cash only Bond for shooting someone - possible two-gun shots which either one could have killed his brother and only a $5,000 Bond - That is ridiculous for trying to Kill Someone - - would that have been $10,000 Bond, had he killed him - They are charging him with Domestic Assault - Not Attempted Murder - - BUNCH OF IDIOTS! STOP BEING SOFT ON CRIMINALS...
ALLIGATOR ALCATRAZ ....OH WAIT
It’s also the jury who’s soft… McDonald county residents want the court to be harder but when they go to trial the jury will find someone guilty of a felony and decide the consequences are to fine the person..
Embarrassing
Read the Missouri laws. There is no “attempted murder.” It’s domestic assault 1st degree which is basically attempted murder. Any first degree assault is basically that. But there is no “attempted murder” on the books. I’m sure he’s also being charged with 2 others crimes: armed criminal action and unlawful use of a firearm.
People can still complain even if there is no such crime!
10:30AM, 12:31PM - First-Degree Assault: The BOND IS A JOKE!!!
A Class A felony involving attempting to cause or causing serious physical injury with a deadly weapon. Firing a gun at a victim and wounding them can be sufficient evidence for a Class B felony, which is raised to a Class A if serious physical injury is inflicted.
In Missouri, the bail amount for an assault charge involving a gun is discretionary and can vary widely, but is typically set high, ranging from $20,000 to $75,000 or more depending on the specific charge and the judge's discretion.
Snitches get stitches
