A Grove woman charged in Missouri with drunken driving and killing a man received a four-year suspended sentence on Wednesday for assaulting law enforcement officers, including breaking one officer’s jaw.
Jennifer Lea Maupin, 44, appeared in Ottawa County District Court and entered a guilty plea to two counts of assault on a police officer, assault and battery, public intoxication, and disturbing the peace.
Maupin’s charges stem from a March 2024 incident that started at the River Bend Casino when she physically assaulted a casino security guard, and ended with her attacking two Ottawa County Sheriff’s deputies in the county jail. Read the full story in yesterday's issue of the Grove Sun.
