New charges have been filed against a local man accused in a double shooting last year to replace charges rejected by a judge last week.
Owen Roberts was charged with two counts of first-degree assault and two counts of armed criminal action for the shootings of Ricky Snedden and Terry Madewell on May 15, 2016. But as we reported, Associate Judge Keith Marquart refused to certify the charges involving Madewell, because the state had not produced any evidence about that shooting.
On Thursday, prosecutors refiled the charges. Roberts is scheduled for Circuit Court arraignment Monday before Judge Patrick Robb in the original case, and is due in court Tuesday on the new charges.
Roberts is being held without bail in the Buchanan County jail after a judge ruled he poses a danger to the community.
