HAZELWOOD, Mo. – A man vanished while visiting a Hazelwood motel. Police believed he could be in imminent danger.

Tristan Malik Baumer, 25, has been missing since Sunday. Investigators said his family is very concerned about his well-being. The Hazelwood Police Department issued an endangered person advisory on Tuesday.

Baumer’s family is on a desperate search to find their missing loved one, who disappeared after he was last seen at Motel 6 on the 5700 block of Campus Court around 6:00 p.m.

“We got called to the hotel. We spoke with his mother, his mother said he went to smoke a cigarette and he has not been seen ever since,” said Detective Sgt. Brendan Gilbert.

A surveillance video from the motel captured the moment Baumer was last seen.

“We checked cameras in the hotel, it shows him leaving the hotel down the street. At that time, he was smoking outside,” Gilbert said. “We have sent dogs out to the wooded area and negative results.”

Baumer’s family said he is suffering from mental illness and fears that he may have run out of his medication, according to the police.

“He has been diagnosed with a few mental health illnesses. He’s not taking medication, and we are currently looking for him,” Gilbert said.

Baumer is 6 feet tall, weighs about 170 pounds, and has black hair and brown eyes. He was wearing a red hooded sweatshirt with black sweatpants.

Police encouraged anyone with information to contact the Hazelwood Police Department.

JEFFERSON COUNTY, Mo. – Two people are behind bars after a man reportedly attacked a Jefferson County deputy with a screwdriver during an attempted arrest over the weekend.

Prosecutors have charged Nicholas Davis, 47, and Amanda Davis, 45, of Dittmer, Missouri, with felonies in the investigation.

The alleged attack followed a traffic stop of a driver in the 9500 block of Jones Creek Road on July 7, though the driver was not Nicholas or Amanda.

According to court documents obtained by FOX 2, Nicholas reportedly came out of his nearby home, yelled at a deputy and started approaching him while holding a screwdriver. The deputy initially ordered Nicholas to back away, then used pepper spray.

Per court documents, the deputy attempted to arrest Nicholas, who then struck him in the chest with the screwdriver. Amanda reportedly approached the deputy and pulled him away from Nicholas before both ran inside their home.

The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office says the situation prompted an hours-long standoff involving negotiators, a SWAT team and a K-9 deputy. The situation led to Nicholas refusing warnings and being bitten by a K-9.

Nicholas and Amanda are both jailed in the Jefferson County Jail without bond. Nicholas is charged with first-degree assault on a special victim and armed criminal action. Amanda is charged with resisting/interfering with arrest.

Gas tanker crashes into St. Louis Metro transit center

ST. LOUIS — A gasoline tanker truck crashed into a Metro transit center near Riverview and Hall Streets early Tuesday morning and knocked over a power pole. The pole is leaning on other power lines. Police have the area blocked off here because there is a downed power line. Ameren and Metro crews are also on the scene.

The incident happened around 12:30 a.m. It’s still unclear exactly what caused the crash, but we do that there was a second vehicle somehow involved. The airbags on that second vehicle did deploy.

Accused killer’s case thrown out over one question at trial

Police at the scene have not been able to give us a lot of details. Metro officials tell FOX 2 that the transit center here is operating this morning for passengers and buses. Access to certain areas will be limited here as clean up unfolds.

A Metro spokesperson says half of the station isn’t being used right now because of safety issues. It isn’t impacting overall bus operations, everything is just happening on the other side of transit center.

The extent of the damage to the actual transit center is still unclear, but I’m told it does not appear to be extreme. A Metro spokesperson tells me there were no injuries to any metro workers or passengers. The tanker driver also was not injured.
