A second individual has been charged in connection with a violent domestic incident at a Springhill residence, according to Springhill Chief of Police Will Lynd.

Yolanda Daniels, a 50-year-old resident of Camelot Dr., was arrested by Springhill officers Wednesday and has been booked for domestic abuse aggravated assault, Lynd said. Her bond has been set at $3,500.

Springhill officers investigating the incident said Daniels and her reported boyfriend, 50-year-old Mickey D. Kemp, became involved in a physical confrontation at a Payne St. residence around 2:15 p.m. Officers reportedly learned the pair struggled after Daniels allegedly kicked Kemp, who responded by pushing her onto a couch and choking her.

Officers reportedly learned Daniels managed to get away and ran into the kitchen, armed herself with a knife and chased Kemp from the house. Officers said Daniels had bruising on her neck and chest from the fight while Kemp showed scratches on his face and a busted lip.

Police said Daniels has been in court for similar offenses on three occasions. While two of the charges reportedly were dropped by the victim, one case is pending.

Kemp is currently being held in Bayou Dorcheat Correctional Center on a charge of domestic abuse with strangulation in the incident. His bond has been set at $50,000. Kemp reportedly has also previously been charged with domestic abuse.
