The caller advised that an unknown male was shooting at his house and that they had broken into his camper in the driveway.
Upon the Adair County Sheriff’s Office arrival, it was found that the male and a female were still inside the camper.
Commands by Sheriff Josh Brockman and Chief Deputy Brandon Hitch for the pair to exit the camper were unsuccessful.
Additional units from the Columbia Police Department and KSP arrived on scene.
Sheriff Brockman and CPD Officer Jimmy Luttrell made entry into the camper and located the pair hiding in the bedroom.
Both were taken into custody without incident.
During the investigation a 22 revolver was located, as well as 4 shell casings and video surveillance of the incident from the homeowner.
The victims had no prior contact with the perpetrators and were unacquainted as to who they were.
The investigation is ongoing by Adair County Sheriff Josh Brockman.
The man and woman were lodged in the Adair Regional Jail on the charges:
Mathew Boutwell, age 22, Wanton Endangerment (1st degree 2 counts), Burglary (1st degree) and Theft by Unlawful Taking (Firearm).
Shonta Ramirez, age 25, Burglary 2nd degree.
