Three Cape Girardeau teenagers face felony charges after a Tuesday afternoon disturbance at Benton and Themis streets, police reported Wednesday.

About 4 p.m. Tuesday, police responded to a call about a fight during which a firearm might have been displayed, said Darin Hickey, public information officer for the Cape Girardeau Police Department.

Officers found three people in the area who matched the descriptions of those who might have been involved, detained them and discovered two had handguns, and another was carrying prescription pills, Hickey said.

All three suspects were arrested, he said.

Jeremy L. Rector, 19, was charged with possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute and unlawful use of a weapon and was in custody on $20,000 bond Wednesday afternoon, Hickey said.

Jared Routhieaux, 17, was charged with possession of a controlled substance, and Timothy D. Jordan, 18, was charged with unlawful use of a weapon, Hickey said.

Bond for Routhieaux and Jordan was set at $7,500 each, Hickey said.

As of Wednesday afternoon, all three suspects were in Cape Girardeau police custody, awaiting transfer to the Cape Girardeau County Jail, he said.
