On May 25, 2026, deputies with the Callaway County Sheriffโs Office responded to a residence near Millersburg in reference to a domestic disturbance. According to court records, Callaway County Joint Communications received a report from a witness who stated that Scott Christopher John Ethan Wayman was striking the victim. Deputies were dispatched to the residence to investigate.
Upon arrival, a deputy contacted the witness, who stated she and Wayman lived together and were involved in a romantic relationship. The witness reported that Wayman had consumed several shots of alcohol, became intoxicated, and slapped her on the right side of the face with an open hand, causing pain. The victim told deputies that Wayman pushed her to the ground with both hands, causing her to fall and injure the left side of her abdomen. Due to her injuries, emergency medical personnel responded to the scene and transported her to a hospital for treatment. The victim further reported that Wayman punched her in the mouth with a closed fist, causing pain and bleeding. The deputy observed a fresh laceration on the victimโs lower lip with visible blood present.
She stated that Wayman forced her head downward toward her chest, restricting her ability to breathe. She reported feeling as though she was being choked and said the pressure caused her to become lightheaded and believe she was about to lose consciousness.
The victim also advised deputies that she was the protected party in a full order of protection issued in Iowa and that Wayman was the respondent. Deputies confirmed the order was active and prohibited Wayman from assaulting, threatening, abusing, harassing, following, interfering with, or stalking the protected person.
Wayman is now charged with second-degree domestic assault, third-degree domestic assault, two counts of fourth-degree domestic assault, and violation of an order of protection.
