Early Friday evening, March 27th, a Coos County Sheriff’s Deputy was dispatched to a report of a woman trespassing on property at an address on Wygant Road, just south of Coos Bay, with a campfire at approximately 8:10pm.
After making initial contact with the individual, identified as 28 year old Kinsey R. Smith, the deputy advised Smith that she was trespassing and repeatedly asked her to leave.
The deputy then attempted to place Ms. Smith under arrest after refusing multiple requests to leave, and a physical altercation ensued, during which the deputy was hit, struck with a knee in the groin, struck several times in the face, scratched, head-butted, and bitten numerous times.
The deputy fought with Ms. Smith for about 5 minutes until a second deputy arrived on scene and assisted with placing Ms. Smith under arrest and transported to the Coos County Jail on multiple charges, including, Criminal Trespass II, Resisting Arrest, and Assault on a Public Safety Officer.
