Highlandville Chief of Police, Jackie Weeks, has been arrested by Christian County Deputies and charged with 3rd-degree domestic assault.
On Sunday, September 19th, Weeks and his girlfriend were arguing which then led to a physical dispute.

The officer responding to the scene noticed redness around the victim’s neck and that she was missing a shoe.
Later, it was confirmed that Weeks had the car keys with him, supporting the victim’s statement.
