Prosecutors Up Charges Against Man Who Attacked McDonald's Worker

Prosecutors have elevated the charges against a 25-year-old man accused of assaulting a teenage McDonald's employee outside the restaurant.  Johnny Ricks, from north St. Louis County, now faces a first-degree felony assault charge, the closest charge to attempted murder permitted under Missouri law. An updated complaint filed yesterday by prosecutors in St. Louis County contains the amended allegations.
