A Rogersville, Missouri woman, 34-year-old Ashley White, charged in 2017 in connection with an incident when she reportedly tackled another female at a Gainesville eatery and package liquor store, knocking her to the floor, has pled guilty. The Ozark County Times reports White entered a guilty plea to a misdemeanor assault charge earlier this month in Ozark County Circuit Court. She had originally been charged with a felony.
At the time of the incident, the Ozark County Times reported once on the ground, White allegedly grabbed the other woman’s head and bashed it into the floor multiple times.
According to the probable cause statement in the case, an Ozark County deputy was called to the eatery parking lot in the early morning of April 23rd at 12:30 after an assault had been reported. When he arrived, he saw a woman identified only as K. McCullough being assisted to a vehicle, who told him she had been assaulted.
Security camera footage from the restaurant and package store showed McCullough get into a physical altercation in the restaurants bar area with another woman, who was not identified. The statement says after the fight was broken up, White came from behind McCullough, tackling her to the ground. White then grabbed McCulloughs head and bashed it into the ground multiple times, the statement notes.
After speaking with the officer, McCullough was transported by private vehicle to Baxter Regional Medical Center for treatment of her injuries. Utilizing McCullough’s medical release papers provided to the officer, he says her injuries included facial or scalp contusions caused by blunt injury or trauma to the face or head area. He wrote that McCullough was bruised on her left jaw, near her left collar bone, near her left elbow, on her upper left arm and on her forearm.
