CLAYTON, Mo. (AP/KMOV) -- A 19-year-old from Georgia who allegedly stole a tip jar from a suburban St. Louis Starbucks and ran over a Good Samaritan trying to stop the crime now faces criminal charges.

  Aaron Poisson is charged in St. Louis County with involuntary manslaughter, leaving the scene of an accident and theft in the hit-and-run death on Monday. The first two counts are felonies, the third a misdemeanor.

  St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney Robert McCulloch said murder charges were not filed because all evidence indicates Poisson did not intend to kill 54-year-old Roger Kreutz when he allegedly ran over him. Kreutz had run outside of the Starbucks, pursuing Poisson after he saw him steal the tip jar.

 "It just kind of indicates all the horrible consequences that can come from a relatively minor offense," McCulloch said.

  McCulloch said Poisson and a young female companion were traveling through the St. Louis area Monday when the accident happened. The companion's name has not be released and no charges will be filed against her, McCulloch said. He said the couple didn't appear to be hiding from the law this week as a massive manhunt was mounted to locate them.

  "They were still in the area and not actively hiding from authorities as far as we can tell," McCulloch said.

  Poisson is being held at the St. Louis County Justice Center in Clayton on $50,000 bond.

  Kreutz was a regular patron at the Starbucks and well-liked by employees there. According to video surveillance of the incident, he didn't hesitate to chase Poisson out the door after he saw the tip money had been stolen. Police say Poisson made off with about $5.
