Allegedly punching a police officer in the groin has led to an Iowa City woman’s arrest.
Iowa City Police were called to 810 Benton Drive just after 3pm Friday for a woman poking holes in car tires. The suspect, 50-year-old Deanna McKinney, was found outside 806 Benton Drive. Police say she was given multiple orders to stop, but continued walking back to her nearby apartment. When an officer grabbed her, McKinney allegedly tensed up and resisted.
McKinney then allegedly intentionally fell to the ground and punched an officer in the groin. Police say she was then handcuffed and dragged to the squad car.
McKinney allegedly showed multiple signs of intoxication. She’s charged with Assault on Persons in Certain Occupations, Interference with Official Acts and Public Intoxication. If convicted on all charges, she faces a maximum of 25 months in jail.
