The Marshall County Sheriff's Department arrested two individuals on domestic battery charges in separate incidents over the weekend.

On Saturday, August 29, at approximately 5:22 p.m., the Marshall County Sheriff's Department received a report of a domestic incident occurring at a residence on McCollough Drive in Lakeville. Officers responded to the scene and began an investigation, which concluded with the arrest of 33-year-old Cristina Rudynski of Lakeville. She was lodged in the Marshall County Jail for domestic battery, a Class A misdemeanor, and held on a $500 cash bond.

The following morning, Sunday, August 30, at approximately 9:50 a.m., Marshall County Dispatch broadcast a report of a domestic battery in progress at a residence on Dewberry Road in Tippecanoe. The initial caller told dispatch that her husband had shoved her through a doorway.

Marshall County officers and Bourbon Police officers responded to the scene. During the investigation, it was discovered that a battery had occurred. Odell A. Kiesow Jr., 56, of Tippecanoe, was transported to the Marshall County Jail and charged with domestic battery in the presence of a minor. He was held on a $1,500 cash bond.

Readers are reminded that charging information supported by an affidavit of probable cause is a mere allegation that a crime has been committed and that there is only probable cause to believe a crime has been committed. They are presumed innocent throughout the proceedings and are entitled to be represented by counsel and entitled to a trial by jury at which the State is obligated to provide proof beyond a reasonable doubt before a judgment of guilt may be made.
