Wild chaos erupted in Rolla, Missouri, after police say a woman wielding a pocketknife terrorized locals in a Friday afternoon crime rampage. Samantha Feeler, 31, now faces a laundry list of felony charges after an alleged double assault spree that began with a bold daylight stickup and ended with a terrifying parking lot attack.
According to authorities, Feeler’s afternoon of havoc kicked off around 3 p.m. at a Sinclair convenience store on North Bishop Avenue. Storming up to the register, she reportedly flashed a pocketknife and barked a chilling ultimatum at the petrified cashier: cough up the cash, or else. Court documents reveal Feeler threatened to kill if her demands weren’t met. The frantic cashier fumbled for the panic button but was unable to trigger an alarm before Feeler bolted from the scene.

But the rampage was just getting started. Less than an hour later, the pocketknife-toting suspect pulled into the bustling Walmart Supercenter parking lot on South Bishop Avenue. Her alleged target this time? An unsuspecting woman sitting quietly in her car. As the woman lowered her window, Feeler brandished her knife and, according to police, threatened to stab the horrified shopper. The ambushed victim screamed desperately for help as Feeler reached inside the car and allegedly grabbed an object, before the would-be assailant retreated to her own vehicle and then casually strolled into Walmart.
By now, Rolla police were zeroing in. Officers trailed Feeler inside the superstore, where she allegedly fought back against attempts to detain her. Cops ultimately managed to slap the cuffs on Feeler, who was apparently still sporting the same outfit from her failed Sinclair heist.
The drama didn’t end with her arrest. While being booked at the Phelps County Jail, Feeler allegedly lunged for an officer’s department-issued Taser and made a run from the booking area during fingerprinting. Her brief escape was cut short, and she found herself once again behind bars.
Feeler remains in custody at the county jail, her bond set sky-high at $250,000. A bond review hearing for the accused knife-wielder is set for January 6, 2026. Authorities say her list of charges includes attempted robbery, assault, armed criminal action, and unlawfully using a weapon. The wild spree has left Rolla residents rattled—and Feeler facing a mountain of legal trouble.
