Three people were arrested and charged with misdemeanors after refusing to leave an establishment after a bar fight in Morgan County on Sunday.
Nicole Patricia Kusgen, 50, of Jefferson City, was charged with first-degree trespassing, resisting arrest and disturbing the peace. She posted a $10,000 bond and was release from the Morgan County Jail at 8:30 p.m. Monday.
Katina Kay Arnold, 48, of Plattsburg was charged with first-degree trespassing and disturbing the peace; William Arnold, 51, also of Plattsburg, was charged with resisting arrest, first-degree trespassing and disturbing the peace. They were both released from the Morgan County Jail at 8:30 p.m. after posting $5,000 bonds.
The probable cause statement says that deputies were called on Sunday night to Jolly Rogers in Rocky Mount for “an active fight in progress with a large amount of people.”
A group of people rode away on a boat before law enforcement arrived and staff had locked themselves in a kitchen, the statement says. Court documents say Kusgen was involved in the fight and the group that was still at the bar started the brawl.
The owner of the bar walked over to the group with law enforcement and told them to leave and that they were being trespassed, court documents say. Kusgen allegedly yelled “please do it” and told the deputy to arrest her, the statement says.
Kusgen then allegedly put her hands out as if she was getting handcuffed and asked why she was being arrested, though deputies had not brought out handcuffs yet or say she was under arrest, the statement says. She was asked to leave again and refused, the statement says. She was then told be law enforcement that she would be arrested if she didn’t leave and she told them to arrest her, the statement says.
Katina Arnold was also arrested after refusing to leave and her husband, William Arnold, allegedly said “I’m going with her,” the statement says. William Arnold allegedly pushed a law enforcement officer before being detained, the statement says.
Arraignments for all three people are scheduled for 9 a.m. Tuesday.
