On July 23, 2026, officers with the University of Missouri Police Department responded to a clinic in Columbia regarding a reported disturbance involving Ashley Aurora Smith. Smith reportedly refused to be treated by a physician at the clinic due to the physician's assumed religion.
Smith allegedly started a verbal disturbance inside the clinic and demanded to be treated by someone else. Hospital staff made multiple efforts to de-escalate the situation and attempted to arrange an appointment at a later date. Smith continued causing a verbal disturbance and spoke about religious differences and other random topics.
A University of Missouri Hospital security officer arrived and asked Smith to leave the premises. Smith reportedly refused to leave and assaulted the security officer as he attempted to get her to leave the property. The security officer attempted to restrain Smith on the floor outside [redacted] while she was being combative with him and staff. While the security officer attempted to restrain her, Smith allegedly kicked him on both sides of his face and neck area and attempted to bite him on both arms twice. Another person attempted to help the security officer while he was on the ground with Smith. That person stated Smith pinched her left forearm and caused bruising.
When officers arrived to assist with the disturbance, Smith allegedly became combative with officers and resisted arrest. Officers were able to place Smith into a patrol vehicle, but the probable cause statement alleges Smith then broke out the rear passenger-side window. Smith was removed from the patrol vehicle while still combative, restrained on the ground, and placed in THE WRAP restraint device to establish control.
Smith is now charged with assault in the third degree involving a special victim, assault in the fourth degree involving a special victim, property damage in the second degree, trespass in the first degree, and resisting or interfering with a felony arrest.
