The St. Louis couple charged with brandishing weapons while protesters demonstrating against racial injustice walked past their home have been indicted, their lawyer said Tuesday.
Attorney Joel Schwartz said Mark McCloskey, 63, and Patricia McCloskey, 61, were indicted by a grand jury on felony counts of unlawful use of a weapon and evidence tampering, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported. A St. Louis court clerk said the indictment was filed Tuesday but said she was not authorized to provide a copy, the newspaper reported.
“I am not surprised that the grand jury indicted them but I’ll certainly be interested in what was presented to the grand jury,” Schwartz told reporters.
