A Cedar Rapids woman was arrested over the weekend after allegedly shooting at her husband.

KGAN TV reports that 36-year-old Chiquita Rollins was in an argument with the man at a residence on 18th Street Southeast. It escalated to the point where Rollins went to the car and got a gun.

She then returned to the living room, pointed the gun at her husband, and fired a single round at him. Cedar Rapids Police said in a Facebook post that the shot “did not take effect” but did not elaborate on that statement.

The Iowa Courts website shows that Rollins has been charged with domestic abuse assault with the use of a weapon, and intimidation with a dangerous weapon. She faces up to 12 years in prison if convicted on both counts.

A no-contact order was issued by Judge Russell Keast on Monday.
