Charges have been filed against the parolee who allegedly took a hostage Tuesday night before barricading himself inside a home near Douglass park for three hours.

Boone County prosecutors have charged 32-year-old Christopher John Crane with two felonies: second degree kidnapping and resisting arrest. They’ve also charged him with violating an adult protection order. Boone County Circuit Judge Kevin Crane has denied bond for the suspect.

The Missouri Department of Corrections says Christopher Crane was paroled from prison in 2021, after serving time for resisting arrest and tampering with a motor vehicle. He’ll likely return to prison this week, due to violating parole.

Crane has served at least two stints in prison: from May 2019 until October 2020 and again from January 2021 until October 2021. State Department of Corrections spokesman Karen Pojmann tells 939 the Eagle that the parole board issued a warrant for Crane’s arrest in September, for a separate alleged kidnapping incident.

A Boone County jury is recommending a life prison sentence for a Centralia man who’s been convicted of multiple child sex crimes.

The jury deliberated for about 90 minutes last week, before convicting 31-year-old Joshua Aaron Lewis on six counts: three counts of statutory sodomy, two counts of child molestation and one count of child abuse.

939 the Eagle News was at the Boone County Courthouse for part of last week’s trial. One of the children spoke to an investigator, and part of that conversation was played in open court. The child said Lewis would spank his rear end at times for no reason, which made his rear end bleed. Jurors listened intently, as the child spoke.

Prosecutors say the incidents happened between 2017 and 2021. Boone County Circuit Judge Kevin Crane has scheduled a November 21 sentencing date. In addition to facing a lengthy prison sentence, Lewis will also have to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life.
