MO.
Court documents released today shed more light on an early Monday incident that left a Springfield man hospitalized and four men in custody.
Documents that led to a charge of first-degree assault against Davy Lee Montgomery, 32, show how his alleged victim fled after being severely beaten in a mobile home near Republic.
The documents do not specify what led to the beating, but Montgomery allegedly uttered a single phrase before asking for an attorney.
“He stole my gun!”
According to the probable cause statement, a bruised and bloody Thomas Oliver, 23, knocked on the back door of mobile home No. 29 in Alpine Village Mobile Home Park, 7534 W U.S. 60.
Oliver asked for help. The resident of the trailer didn’t open the door, but called 911, according to the document.
When Greene County deputies arrived, they found Oliver, semi-conscious and badly beaten.
While in and out of consciousness, Oliver told officers that four to five males assaulted him with a black pistol, a hammer, a flash light and nunchucks, :O according to the statement.
Just as officers were getting the information from Oliver, three women arrived at St. John’s Hospital in Springfield.
The 23-year-old woman and two female juveniles were hesitant to talk to law enforcement but said they were worried about their friend, Oliver, who had been badly beaten, according to the statement.
The document said the women were vague and somewhat incoherent
when speaking to officers.
The women said a man named “Dave” was involved in beating Oliver and they were at a trailer that fit the description of the Alpine Village address, according to the document.
Meanwhile, officers followed Oliver’s blood trail at Alpine Village to mobile home No. 27 and knocked on the door, according to the document.
Montgomery answered the door with blood covered hands, arms, bare chest, jeans and socks, according to the statement.
Montgomery told officers he wanted to get “his” blood off of him, according to the document. Officers believed he was referring to Oliver.
Montgomery was arrested. A large amount of blood evidence was found in the living room of the trailer, according to the document.
