Malden man held in connection with shooting

MALDEN, Mo. -- A Malden man is being held without bond after being accused over the weekend of shooting another man.

Floyd Mantel Young Jr., 22, was charged Saturday with first-degree assault and armed criminal action, both felonies.

A complaint filed in Dunklin County states Young "knowingly caused serious physical injury to Dustin Greer by shooting him" Saturday and did so by, with or through the assistance of a deadly weapon.

The court was asked to hold Young without bond, according to online court records.

Bond reportedly will be set when Young appears before Associate Circuit Judge John Spielman.

Other details about the alleged shooting were not available. A probable-cause statement was not released by the county prosecutor's office, as the investigation is ongoing.

At the time Young was charged, he was on supervised probation.

Young pleaded guilty in March 2013 to felony second-degree burglary in Cape Girardeau County.

The judge suspended Young's sentence and placed him on five years of supervised probation.

Young had pleaded guilty to misdemeanor possession of fewer than 35 grams of marijuana in Scott County in 2014 and misdemeanor third-degree assault in Dunklin County in 2011, online court records show.
