Allegedly jumping in front of a car and attacking its driver has led to the arrest of a Muscatine woman in Iowa City.
According to arrest records, 29-year-old Elizabeth Staats was in the Little Caesar’s parking lot on Hollywood Boulevard just before 11pm Friday when she saw another woman she knew driving a car. Police say Staats threw herself in front of the vehicle to get it to stop. When the driver got out, Staats allegedly grabbed her by her hair and began hitting her in the face.
Iowa City Police say the alleged victim had visible injuries and hair pulled out. The incident was observed by an independent witness.
Staats was arrested and charged with Assault Causing Bodily Injury. If convicted, she faces a maximum of one year in jail.
