Cole County Grand Jury indicts four more

The Cole County Grand jury has handed down several more indictments this week, finding there was enough evidence to send the cases on to the circuit courts for possible trial.

Among those indicted was a Jefferson City woman in connection with a stabbing in April.

According to police reports, officers were dispatched to the 900 block of East Miller Street (Miller Street Park) for a disturbance.

Officers received information a fight and stabbing occurred prior to their arrival, and the victim had left the area to get medical attention. When the victim was contacted, officers determined she had complained about the suspect harassing her and filed a police report before the incident. The victim, a 33-year-old Jefferson City female, claimed she had been struck multiple times by the suspect, who was holding a long kitchen knife, then stabbed at least once in the face while at the park.

Kashay Davis, 23, was located later in the midst of another disturbance and subsequently questioned about her involvement. In addition, her vehicle was searched and part of the kitchen knife was located in the vehicle.

Davis is charged with second-degree assault, armed criminal action and unlawful use of a weapon.

Also indicted was a Jefferson City woman charged following a pursuit with authorities in December 2015.

Katina Daniels, 40, of Jefferson City, was charged with resisting arrest, driving while revoked and unlawful use of drug paraphernalia.

According to police reports, members of the Jefferson City Police Department's Community Action Team observed Daniels driving without lights in the 3600 block of Country Club Drive. The officers attempted to stop her, at which time she fled and a pursuit began.

The pursuit continued on Country Club Drive to Missouri 179, then west on U.S. 50 to Apache Flats.

Daniels turned around in a trailer park and returned to Jefferson City.

Daniels struck an area of raised concrete during her turn and eventually lost a tire while exiting U.S. 50 to Country Club Drive.

She drove back to the original area where the traffic stop was first attempted near Hardees, struck a curb and was taken into custody.

Also indicted was a Jefferson City funeral director facing multiple charges in connection with a sexual assault case.

Tyler Woods, 27, of 2725 Cedarwood Court, is charged with first-degree endangering the welfare of a child, first-degree sexual abuse, second-degree child molestation and supplying liquor to a minor.

A Jefferson City Police Department probable cause statement shows the incident occurred in November 2015.

The mother of the victim contacted police and said her child had worked for Woods. Several hours after finishing work, the mother said her child came home intoxicated. The victim was under the age of 17.

The victim told officers she had consumed liquor, which Woods had purchased.

She said Woods filled a cup with liquor and told her he would pay her $100 if she drank the entire cup.

The victim said she drank the entire cup, and Woods continued to make bets with her.

She said she eventually passed out, and when she woke up she saw Woods touching her bare breasts. She said she pushed Woods away, but he continued to touch her.

She eventually demanded to go home, and Woods took her home.

Court records show Woods pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of impersonating an officer in February 2006 and was placed on two years unsupervised probation.

Also indicted was a Jefferson City man charged in connection with a drug trafficking case in Cole County.

Tyler Brondel, 26, is charged with possession with intent to distribute, unlawful use of drug paraphernalia and possession of marijuana.

Jefferson City police reports said officers were called to the Best Western hotel on Christy Drive in February for a complaint of drug activity in one of the rooms.

When officers arrived, they found a bong and glass smoking pipe.

They later found 135 grams of methamphetamine and a digital scale.

Also found was nearly $2,200 in cash.

Brondel was in the room, and a search of his jacket found two bags of marijuana weighing 28 grams. He admitted to selling narcotics.
