47-year-old Leigh Kilgore was involved in an altercation with her daughter, Kennady Watwood, at their Woodspring Suites room on March 30th. Officers arrived at their room and made contact with Watwood. Watwood told officers that Kilgore stormed into the room and started insulting her, saying that she needed to leave. Kilgore threw Watwood’s boyfriend’s laptop across the room and started yelling at him. During the argument, Kilgore put her finger in his face, leading to Watwood getting in the middle of them. Once that happened, Kilgore used one hand to strangle Watwood and used the other hand to hit her. Watwood’s boyfriend separated the two before Kilgore could land a punch. He was also able to provide officers with pictures of bruising around Watwood’s neck. Leigh Kilgore was taken into custody and charged with aggravated domestic assault.
