WENTZVILLE • A tattoo shop manager who was charged last summer for allegedly videotaping women in the store's restroom, choking an employee and threatening others with a gun now faces 15 additional felonies, all gun and drug charges.
Bruce A. Hymes, 41, of the first block of Trophy Buck Lane in St. Charles County, possessed guns and other weapons when he shouldn't have because of a 1991 burglary conviction, court documents say. Hymes managed Full Moon Studios in Wentzville.
Court documents say that when a customer told him she wanted a piercing removed from her belly, he pulled out a hand gun and told her that "this would remove it."
Court documents also say that in August, he possessed the steroid medications testosterone cypionate and nandrolone decanoate, both controlled substances.
Hymes was charged Thursday in St. Charles County Circuit Court.
