Kurt Doolady — an assistant chief with the Boone County Fire Protection District and Missouri Task Force 1 program manager – stepped down from his position with the department on Thursday after a felony charge was filed against him in Camden County.
BCFPD Assistant Chief Gale Blomenkamp told ABC 17 News in a text message that Doolady retired at 5 p.m. Thursday. Doolady first became a volunteer with the department in 1990 and was hired full-time in 2002, Blomenkamp wrote.
Doolady was charged on Tuesday with second-degree domestic assault. A $10,000 bond was set in the case. He was not listed on the Camden County Jail’s online roster on Friday afternoon.
The probable cause statement says deputies were called at 3:17 a.m. Oct. 11 to a Sunrise Beach location for a reported assault.
The victim was allegedly assaulted after they confronted Doolady about smoking cigarettes, the statement says. Doolady allegedly pushed the victim into a retaining wall, punched them several times and choked them, the statement says. The victim got free after biting Doolady, the statement says.
Deputies noted a number of injuries on the victim, including cuts, swelling and bruising around their face, neck and arms, the statement says.
Doolady allegedly told deputies he was attacked and a fight occurred because he would not go to bed, court documents say. Deputies noted some injuries to Doolady, but “did not observe injuries consistent with his report.”
