Marketplace Robbery Arrest

A Columbia man is facing multiple felony charges after police say he committed two armed robberies earlier this month, including one during a Facebook Marketplace transaction.

Twenty-year-old Lance Graves is charged with two counts of first-degree robbery and two counts of armed criminal action.

Investigators say Graves robbed a man who traveled to Columbia to buy a handgun advertised online, then days later pointed a gun at a 14-year-old and robbed him.

Police say video of the second robbery was posted to social media.

Graves was arrested Monday and is being held in the Boone County Jail without bond.
