On May 9, 2026, officers with the Columbia Police Department responded to a residence in reference to a reported domestic assault. Dispatch advised that a physical altercation had occurred. Officers arrived at approximately 11:26 p.m. and made contact with the victim.

The victim stated that Chad Nathan Jamerson assaulted both her and a juvenile victim following a verbal altercation prior to law enforcement’s arrival. According to the victim, she had been lying in bed when Jamerson stood beside the bed, placed his hands around her throat, and began strangling her. The victim reported difficulty breathing during the assault and said Jamerson strangled her for approximately one minute before punching her in the face after releasing her throat. She stated Jamerson was shaking her while strangling her.

Officers observed a cut and blood on the victim’s lip, bruising on the inner lip, and swelling on the left side of her face. The victim told officers she feared Jamerson would continue assaulting her. The victim also stated that two juveniles witnessed the altercation and that one juvenile attempted to intervene.

Officers then made contact with the juvenile victim, who stated they observed Jamerson standing above the victim with his hands around her throat and believed Jamerson had been choking her. The juvenile stated they entered the bedroom and attempted to stop the assault, at which point they and Jamerson became involved in a physical altercation. The juvenile reported that punches were exchanged for approximately 15 seconds before the fight stopped. The juvenile further stated that Jamerson later approached them again, began yelling, and raised a closed fist toward them. The juvenile said the punches from Jamerson were unwanted.

A second juvenile witness told officers they observed Jamerson and the juvenile victim fighting multiple times and attempted to console the victim while the altercation occurred inside the bedroom.

Officers noted in the probable cause statement that Jamerson reportedly had connections to Flint, Michigan, and is a senior pastor at Kingdom Life Church in Sedalia, Missouri, but has no known friends or family contacts in Columbia, according to the victim.

Jamerson is now charged with endangering the welfare of a child and domestic assault in the second and third degree. Case Information
