CAUTION: THIS ARTICLE CONTAINS PROFANITY AS CONTAINED IN THE CRIMINAL COMPLAINT

As previously reported, David Allen Boggs, age 49, was arrested on misdemeanor charges of assault, trespassing, and disorderly conduct on February 20, 2013.

According to the criminal complaint filed against Boggs by Cowen Patrolman B.H. Elkins, at about 10:30 p.m. on February 20, 2013, Boggs was at the Cowen GoMart. He was asked to leave the property by a GoMart employee.

Boggs was told to leave because the manager did not want people hanging out in the store. The complaint then alleges that Boggs told the employee "I will knock that fucking bitch in the head." He then followed the employee around the store and made another obscene remark.

Boggs allegedly said "Are you not afraid of me being behind you?" When the employee said "No," Boggs then allegedly said "I will knock you in the head you fucking fat bitch. I carry a gun and I am not afraid to use it," the complaint concludes.

Boggs was incarcerated at the Central Regional Jail upon his arrest but has since posted the bail of $3,700.00 set by Magistrate Rich Robertson.

A criminal complaint is not evidence of guilt, but is a mere allegation of wrongdoing and is the document by which a person is charged with a crime.
