Summary
A 20-year-old man, Leetez Hawkins, is facing serious charges after allegedly swinging a gun and hitting a victim in the face during a confrontation on Church Street. Hawkins admitted to the assault but claimed it happened after being attacked first — turning it into a he-said-she-said situation. Police found two guns at his residence, one of which was reported stolen in Cole County, adding another felony to his case. Prosecutors have charged him with Second Degree Assault, Armed Criminal Action, Unlawful Use of a Weapon, and Stealing a Firearm — all of which carry heavy penalties. He remains jailed without bond as legal proceedings move forward.
