Coos Bay, Ore - On March 27th 2026, at 8:10 p.m., a Coos County Sheriff’s Deputy responded to a report of a woman trespassing on property at an address on Wygant Road, just south of Coos Bay, with a campfire.

During the contact, the deputy advised Kinsey R. Smith (28) that she was trespassing and repeatedly asked her to leave. Ms. Smith refused to leave after numerous requests. The deputy attempted to place Ms. Smith under arrest on Criminal Trespass II, and a physical fight ensued.

The deputy was hit, struck with a knee in the groin, struck several times in the face, scratched, head-butted, and bitten numerous times. The deputy fought with Ms. Smith for about 5 minutes until a second deputy arrived on scene and assisted with placing Ms. Smith under arrest.

Kinsey R. Smith (28) was transported to the Coos County Jail on the charges of Criminal Trespass II, Resisting Arrest, and Assault on a Public Safety Officer.
