An Eagle Rock woman racked up additional charges after allegedly resisting arrest by kicking a Barry County Sheriff’s Deputy in the chest. According to the affidavits of probable cause, Kym Anisa Kelso, 26, was under arrest for domestic assault when she refused to go with officer, kicking the deputy in the chest and breaking his body camera.
The Barry County Sheriff’s Department was dispatched to a residence on 3rd Street in Eagle Rock on January 31 for an alleged domestic assault. Kelso allegedly struck the victim, who she was in a relationship with, in the back of the head and face as well as bit him on the chest.

When officers grabbed her arm, she pulled away and began kicking Barry County Sheriff’s Deputy Wesley Kissinger in the chest.
Kissinger’s body camera’s mounting bracket was broken in the incident.
According to officers, Kelso continued to resist by being combative and kicking while Kissinger tried to put her in a patrol vehicle. Kissinger also suffered a four inch long scratch to his face and multiple scratches to his forearm.
Kelso is charged with domestic assault in the third degree, resisting arrest for a felony, assault in the second degree and property damage in the second degree. Kelso is currently being held in the Barry County Jail in lieu of a $20,000 bond.
