Felony arrest in Columbia

An East Carondelet man was arrested Thursday afternoon for allegedly entering a Columbia home with people inside.

Robert L. Haney, 50, was charged with felony criminal trespass to residence. Bond was set at $10,000.

Columbia police were called shortly before noon Thursday to Gateway Urgent Care at 11 South after a friend apparently brought Haney there for possible symptoms of an opioid overdose or withdrawals. He declined treatment, however, and after apparently receiving liquids and telling responders he felt better, was free to go.

At about 1:30 p.m., a suspicious male subject believed to be Haney was observed walking in the area of West Legion Street at Carl Street, and then a short time later near City Hall. Finally, there was a report of a male subject matching his description entering a residence in the 500 block of South Main Street.

Haney was finally taken into custody for that incident at about 3 p.m.
