ST. LOUIS COUNTY, Mo. — A Jennings man is facing prison time for a haircut gone wrong.
According to the St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney's Office, 18-year-old Kenneth Armour went to a north St. Louis County home to get a haircut on Sept. 26. Before leaving the home, Armour shot the victim in the midsection, striking his intestines.
Armour was later identified as the shooter.
The Prosecuting Attorney's Office charged Armour with first-degree assault and armed criminal action. He faces between 10 and 30 years or life imprisonment for the assault, a Class A felony. For the other charge, an unclassified felony, he could be sentenced to three to 15 years in prison.
As of Tuesday morning, Armour was being held on a $250,000 cash-only bond.
No other information about what led up to the shooting was provided in charging documents.
