COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

A woman who is charged with first-degree murder in Cole County has been charged in another case.

Rejeane Redmon, 29, was charged in 2023 with first-degree murder, armed criminal action and tampering with evidence in the death of 80-year-old Melvin Callahan.

She was committed to the Department of Mental Health in March, but is currently listed on the Cole County Jail’s online roster. A hearing in that case is scheduled for 9 a.m. Tuesday.

She was charged on Wednesday with misdemeanor fourth-degree assault after she allegedly assaulted a Cole County deputy at the jail on Aug. 16. The deputy was conducting a security check of Redmon’s cell when she hit him several times on his left arm.
