St. Louis couple hit with felony charges for pulling guns at protest
Mark and Patricia McCloskey, the St. Louis couple who made headlines protecting their home from rioters, were charged Monday with felonies in the incident.
The couple held a rifle and handgun last month outside their house when protesters broke down a private gate and headed past their residence. Mr. McCloskey said they feared for their property and lives.
St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner has charged the couple with brandishing weapons, accusing the couple of waving the guns at protesters in a threatening way.
