A special prosecutor has amended the charges against a St. Louis woman who waved a gun at racial injustice protesters last summer, and he’ll decide soon if he’ll amend charges against her husband.
Mark and Patricia McCloskey were indicted by a grand jury in October on felony charges of unlawful use of a weapon and evidence tampering. Special Prosecutor Richard Callahan said Tuesday that he filed a new indictment giving jurors the alternative of convicting Patricia McCloskey of misdemeanor harassment instead of the weapons charge. Under that alternative charge, the evidence tampering count would be dropped.
“While there is still work to do and more witnesses to interview in terms of trial preparation, this substitute information represents my best judgement (sic) as to the options a jury or a judge should be given in light of the totality of the facts and circumstances that can be proven,” Callahan’s statement read. “A similar decision will be made regarding Mark McCloskey in the coming days.”
An investigation by St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner’s office led to the indictments in October. The charges also made the McCloskeys celebrities in conservative circles - so much so that Mark McCloskey announced last week that he’ll seek the Republican nomination for the U.S. Senate in 2022.
