Tupelo woman charged with assault and battery on Coal County jailer On September 27 at approximately 7:15 p.m., Officer Corey McCollum saw a woman standing outside her car in front of Tupelo City Hall holding her car keys. Officer McCollum approached the woman, Tanya Kilgore, 43, and started talking to her. Kilgore began telling the officer about possible stolen property and was yelling and screaming profanities.
