Monett man charged with four felonies following standoff

A Monett man was charged with domestic assault, kidnapping, endangering the welfare of a child and resisting arrest following a standoff with police Tuesday.

Bond for Jacob Jeffrey Healey (DOB 1994) was set at $100,000 cash only. A bond appearance hearing is scheduled for 9 a.m. March 26 in Barry County Circuit Court.

From the probable cause statement:

On this day, units were dispatched to the address listed below for a physical domestic assault that was still occurring. JV1 told dispatch that she could see V1 being assaulted by Jacob Jeffrey Healey.

When we arrived, we could hear V1 yelling for help from inside of the residence. After a short period of time, we were able to get V1 out of the residence. V1 had several lacerations on her head, deep enough to see her skull. 

V1 had a laceration above her eye. V1 had a large amount of blood coming from her head and face. EMS arrived on scene and took V1 to the hospital emergent.

After 47 minutes of Jacob Healey refusing to listen to commands of coming out of the residence, Sgt. Miller deployed one canister of gas into the residence. Jacob Healey finally came out of the residence six minutes later, where we could place him in handcuffs.

I spoke with JV1 who further stated she was at VI's residence when Jacob Healey became mad and put his hands around V1's throat and pinned her "down." JV1 stated she told V1 they should just leave and go to JV1's residence. 

JV1 stated Jacob Healey was "in her face" yelling at her to leave his residence. JV1 stated she was "really really" scared. JV1 stated as V1 began to walk out of her residence, Jacob Healey, pulled her back inside the residence and locked JV1 out. JV1 stated she could hear V1 screaming "I can't breathe". JV1 stated she backed away but was able to see through the window, Jacob Healey, pinning V1 down and hitting her over and over again, up to or over 20 times. JV1 stated she could hear Jacob Healey banging something, to which she believed it was V1's head.

Det. Sgt. Landreth called from the hospital after speaking with V1. Det. Sgt. Landreth stated V1 said Jacob Healey had her face down in the living room, striking the back of her head, before he flipped her over and started striking her in the face. 

V1 said Jacob Healey had his knee placed on her throat. V1 said Jacob Healey took her to the bathroom, and began striking her, possible with an alcohol bottle. V1 said Jacob Healey began slamming her head into the bathtub.

The case was investigated by the Monett Police Department.
