BB gun assault leads to two felony charges for Aurora woman

November 20, 2019
Charlea Estes-Jones

A woman from Aurora is in the Barry County Jail, charged with assault, after allegedly shooting a victim in the head with a BB gun in Purdy. Jessica Maldonado, 29, of Aurora, is charged with assault in the second degree and armed criminal action.

According to affidavits of probable cause by Barry County deputy Abby Parsons, Maldonado used a BB gun to fire shots at the victim on August 23 around 10:15 a.m. at a location on Sate Highway 37. When officers arrived, they noted the victim was hit twice with BBs, once near his eye and once in the neck, which caused physical injuries.

Officers classified the case as using a BB gun in a negligent manner. Maldonado was not located at the time of the assault. She was taken into custody  and booked into the Barry County Jail on November 17 at 11 a.m. for these two felony charges as well as a failure to appear warrant on a misdemeanor failure to register a motor vehicle charge.

Maldonado is currently being held in the Barry County Jail in lieu of a $40,000 cash-only bond.
