LUBBOCK, TX — A local KLBK weather reporter was arrested on Monday, November 25.

Kathryn Campbell, 23, was arrested on charges of assault causing bodily injury to a family member following a domestic disturbance in the 11500 block of Savannah Avenue.

According to court documents, Lubbock Police responded to the call on November 25, where the victim, identified as Campbell's father, reported being struck in the face multiple times, resulting in pain and visible injuries. Officers at the scene observed the injuries to be in line with the victim's account.

Court records state both Campbell and the victim live at the same address, and the victim told authorities that the violence had been an ongoing issue. Given the circumstances and concerns for the continued safety of those involved, Lubbock police arrested Campbell for assault.
