A Coralville woman was taken into custody early Saturday morning after allegedly assaulting another woman and fighting with police when arrested.
35-year-old Sara Heumphreus of Holiday Road is accused of striking the victim in the head and face repeatedly, causing severe swelling, a cut lip, redness and pain. Officers spoke with Heumphreus around 1:30am Saturday about the incident, and she allegedly got upset during their conversation and attempted to go back into her residence.
Heumphreus was given commands to stop, which she ignored, and allegedly attempted to gain entry to her residence repeatedly. When informed that she was under arrest, she continued to fight officers by resisting and pulling away from them.
Heumphreus was charged with Assault Causing Serious Injury and Interference with Official Acts. She faces over five years in prison if convicted on both counts.
