On Monday May 18, 2026, the 10th Judicial Circuit of Marion County issued a warrant for 26-year-old Jydon Harnett of Hannibal. Harnett was charged with two counts of Felony Harassment and one count of Armed Criminal Action.
The charges stem from an incident that occurred in the early morning hours of May 17th, 2026 in the 100 block of North Maple Ave. Hannibal Police Officers arriving for a disturbance call located multiple witnesses reporting Harnett had approached a female victim, displayed a firearm, and forced the victim to the ground with the firearm while making continued threats to harm her. Harnett fled the scene prior to officer arrival.
On the evening of May 17th Officers located Harnett at his residence and took him into custody without incident. A firearm matching the description was recovered from the residence. Harnett remains in the Marion County Jail on a $30,000 cash-only bond.
A criminal charge is merely an allegation, and defendants are presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty in a court of law.
