On May 25, 2026, officers with the Fulton Police Department responded to the 800 block of Court Street in reference to a domestic disturbance. According to the probable cause statement, dispatch advised officers that the reporting person had left a residence in the 800 block of Court Street and reported that Robert Lee Pittman was inside the residence holding a knife. The reporting person told dispatch they were unsure whether Pittman intended to kill them or another individual.
An officer responded to an alternate location and contacted the reporting person. The reporting person stated Pittman had entered the apartment and displayed a butcher knife while making verbal threats to kill the reporting person and/or another individual. The reporting person said they persuaded Pittman to leave the apartment to get a soda and then fled the residence after he departed.
Court records cited in the complaint indicate the Fulton Police Department had responded to the same residence on May 22, 2026, regarding a residential burglary complaint involving Pittman. That investigation resulted in an extended search that included a K-9 track and searches at multiple locations in the city, but Pittman was not located. Officers later conducted a follow-up contact at the residence on May 24, 2026. The complaint states that within approximately 24 hours of that contact, Pittman returned to the residence and allegedly committed the new offenses.
The probable cause statement also notes prior Callaway County convictions for Pittman, including resisting or interfering with arrest in 2010, third-degree domestic assault in 2012, first-degree burglary, tampering with a victim in a felony prosecution, first-degree domestic assault, and attempted first-degree arson in 2020, and resisting or interfering with arrest for a felony in April 2026.
Pittman is now charged with harassment in the first degree, armed criminal action, and unlawful use of a weapon.
