Gun-wielding Pineville man charged with three counts of assault, meth possession


(From the McDonald County Sheriff's Office)

On December 24, 2021, Your McDonald County Deputies were dispatched to a location behind Booneslick Lodge on U.S. Highway 71 for a disturbance involving a firearm.
 
While Deputies were on their way to the location, McDonald County 911 dispatchers advised responding units that they were receiving multiple calls involving a male subject pointing a gun at other subjects.










They were then advised of a possible vehicle accident involving the male subject as well as other subjects.
 
First arriving deputies were able to determine the subject with the firearm had ran to McDonald's. When deputies arrived at McDonald's, a short foot chase ensued with deputies detaining the subject. He was identified as Spencer Daniels from the Pineville area.
 
As the investigation unfolded, it was determined that Daniels had pointed his handgun at two individuals in a vehicle. He then intentionally struck their vehicle then fled into Boonslick Lodge where he again pointed the firearm at another male subject. Daniel attempted to dispose of the firearm by throwing it in a bathroom trashcan. Deputies were able to recover the firearm.

While searching Daniels' car, deputies recovered methamphetamine and other drug paraphernalia.
 
Daniels is currently in the McDonald County jail where he has been charged 3 counts of Assault in the First Degree, 3 counts of Armed Criminal Action, Possession of a Controlled Substance, Property Damage 1st Degree, Resisting Arrest, Tampering with Physical Evidence. His bond is 200,000.00 cash only.

Also assisting with this case was the Anderson Police Department and the Pineville Marshal's Office.
Thank you all agencies involved for their assistance. This is another example of good teamwork to contain and bring a positive resolution to a dangerous situation.
