SCOTT COUNTY, Mo. (KFVS) - A Scott County judge sentenced a Sikeston man to prison following his conviction in a 2021 armed assault.

According to the Scott County Prosecuting Attorney, 30-year-old Gary Farrar Junior received a 37-year sentence.

Back in June, that same judge found Farrar guilty on four felony counts, including assault and armed criminal action.

Court records show Farrar stole a man’s car and fired a gun at him at a Sikeston convenience store in May 2021.
