MALDEN MAN CONVICTED OF NUMEROUS FELONIES INCLUDING DOMESTIC ASSAULT
A Malden man was convicted of numerous felonies last week following a two day trial in Dunklin County.
Ryan Dicus, Assistant Dunklin County Prosecuting Attorney, tells KWOC News that 29 year old Cameron Kerbyson has been found guilty of three counts of felony domestic assault in the second degree, and thirteen counts of felony tampering with a victim in a felony prosecution.
These charges stem from an incident in May of 2023 where Kerbyson violently assaulted his then-girlfriend by striking her, throwing her to the ground, kicking her, and attempting to smother her.
After his arrest, Kerbyson repeatedly tampered with the victim. He
attempted to convince her not to show up for required court appearances; to claim she filed a false police report, and to claim she was “under duress” when she made the statement.
Sentencing is set for November 6th, where Kerbyson faces a possible total sentence of 112 years in the Missouri Department of Corrections.
