Two men from Cass County face multiple charges stemming from an incident last week involving what they thought was a suspicious vehicle traveling through the area. According to a Criminal Complaint and Affidavit, 54-year old Steven Darrell Funk, of Griswold, who was initially cited into court for False Imprisonment, was also cited into court for Aiding and Abetting in the commission of going Armed with Intent.  Another Griswold resident, 61-year old Mark Funk, faces a charge of Going Armed with Intent.

Authorities say a woman, her husband and two small children, were traveling in the vicinity of 640th Street and Tucson Road on March 11th, when Steve and Mark Funk boxed the family’s vehicle-in with a pickup and an SUV. The victims said both men then exited their vehicles and surrounded them before Mark Funk alleged pointed a firearm at the family’s vehicle. Both men have admitted to “boxing in” the car.

Mark Funk was transported to the Cass County Jail, and posted a $6,000 bond the next day.
