A Maryville man is back in custody after a judge revoked his bond.

Prosecutor  Kate Schaefer filed a motion this week to revoke bail for Jeffrey Scott Meyer.  In the motion, Schaefer said Meyer was engaging in illegal behavior.  She asserted that the defendant was using methamphetamine and trying to break into houses.

According to the motion he “…went to several homes in Maryville attempting to get inside, and then talked about being kidnapped, and being chased by a district judge with a shotgun.”

Meyer was arraigned Thursday.  He entered a plea of not guilty to one count of child endangerment.  Judge Daniel Kellogg scheduled the case for a trial setting August 11.  Bail is now set at $75,000 cash.

Meyer and Christon Chambers, also of Maryville, were charged with child endangerment for allegedly contributing to the death of an infant child with whom they shared a bed.

According to court documents, the pair consumed alcohol and then fell asleep in the same bed as the youngster and another child a year ago. The 7-week-old child was found unresponsive early the next morning, and was pronounced dead at Mosaic Life Care.

Officials believe one or both of the parents rolled on top of or against the infant while sleeping. The charges were filed in Buchanan County last month.

Chambers is free on bail awaiting jury trial in February.
