KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) - The Jackson County Prosecutors Office has filed charges against a man accused of stealing a car, causing a disturbance and breaking into a home all in one day.
According to booking records, 45-year-old Christopher Davis is charged with three felonies connected to an alleged series of events on April 13, 2025.
Court documents indicate that the Kansas City Police Department was first notified of a stolen Nissan Murano early that morning. Then, shortly before 9 a.m., officers were called to a home in Jackson County on a reported disturbance.
The homeowners told police that their alarm went off, so they went outside and saw Davis standing in the bed of their GMC pickup truck. They called 911, and when officers arrived, Davis reportedly claimed, “This is my land, and that is my truck.”
The homeowners showed the officers proof that the vehicle was theirs and noted that they had seen Davis drive up to the home in a Nissan Murano. It had a broken window, which was consistent with the owner’s earlier police report that a man had broken the car’s window with a rock before stealing it.
When the officers remarked on the “large amount of what appeared to be broken glass in Davis’s pockets,” they said he admitted to stealing it.
Davis was taken into custody and questioned at KCPD’s metro station. Documents state that he again admitted to stealing the Nissan and then said that if he saw a running vehicle after he got out of jail, he would steal it.
He was then released “pending further investigation.”
Several hours later, around 3:30 p.m., officers were called back to a Jackson County home on a disturbance report.
The victims said that on their way home, they had used an app on their phone to unlock their front door before they got there. As they arrived home, however, they saw Davis walking toward the front door, which he entered and locked behind him. They told officers they then went to the back door of the residence and could hear Davis inside, claiming the house belonged to him.
Documents detail that Davis then picked up a chair and began swinging it at the victims, involving one of them in a physical fight and leaving him with scratches and a red eye. The fight reportedly caused about $940 in damages. The victims feared that Davis would return to the home in the future and said he had already caused a disturbance earlier that day.
The officers arrested Davis for burglary and assault and took him in for additional questioning. His account of events did not match what the victims claimed or what surveillance videos appeared to indicate.
While at the scene, officers said another party had contacted them and claimed that Davis was their relative. The person said Davis “had been acting strangely and appeared to be struggling with mental health.” Davis claimed to have bipolar disorder during his interview.
He is currently being held in the Jackson County Detention Center on a $25,000 bond. He has previous felony convictions for marijuana possession and a 2005 guilty plea for second-degree murder, for which he was sentenced to 10 years in prison.
Davis’s next court date is a bond review hearing scheduled for April 22, 2025.
