An Audrain County man charged with theft is now accused of witness tampering.
According to a report from ABC 17 News, deputies say Joshua Cuno allegedly stole 4 guns and tools in October and the victim’s family member returned 3 of the guns and tools at the end of December.
Cuno is accused of displaying the missing gun during an assault last month.
He is being held at the Audrain County Jail on charges of theft and unlawful possession of a firearm.
According to court records, while in jail Cuno reportedly reached out to a witness asking them to back up his story of having the guns for target practice.
No charges have been filed in the witness tampering case as of now.
