A Coralville woman was taken into custody early Sunday morning after a fireworks throwing incident in downtown Iowa City.
Police were investigating a report of subjects throwing fireworks at pedestrians from the top of the Capitol Street ramp at around 12:20 am. Officers got to the top of the ramp and found 43-year-old Leanna Baker of Holiday Road. They asked Baker to stop, but instead, she ran away.
Police reportedly chased Baker down the ramp and about two blocks before catching her.
Baker was charged with Interference with Official Acts, a simple misdemeanor. She could be sentenced to up to 30 days in jail if convicted on the charge.
