SILVER LAKE — Two women were recently arrested after allegedly battering a person in Silver Lake.

Cierra McIntosh, 27, 789 Cherry Tree Lane, Rochester; and Lindsey Nicole Beebout, 27, 761 Maplewood Lane, Rochester, are each charged with battery resulting in moderate bodily injury, a level 6 felony; and battery resulting in bodily injury, a class A misdemeanor.

Around 2:45 am. March 2, a Kosciusko County Sheriff’s Office deputy met a woman at the Silver Lake Police Department regarding a battery. The woman said she was sitting near a campfire when McIntosh and Beebout abruptly arrived in a vehicle.

According to court documents, McIntosh and Beebout immediately approached the woman and forcefully knocked her to the ground. Beebout restrained the woman while McIntosh repeatedly punched the woman’s head, pulled her hair, and stomped on her chest and shoulders. Following the assault, McIntosh and Beebout left the scene.

The KCSO deputy noticed several facial abrasions and swollen bumps on the woman’s head. A witness who was at the residence where the battery occurred corroborated the woman’s version of events, providing nearly identical details.

McIntosh and Beebout were both booked in the Kosciusko County Jail on March 22.
