An Iowa City woman was arrested after allegedly assaulting the father of their child in the child’s full view.
Police say the incident occurred on June 1st at the residence of 35-year—old Kelsey Zeadow. That morning , they were reportedly arguing over the child’s treatment when Zeadow grabbed the man by the throat and shoved him, while holding the couple’s 1-year-old daughter. She then put the child on the ground and allegedly put both hands around the man’s throat and shoved him backwards while repeatedly kicking him in the shins.
The man suffered scratches and small bleeding cuts to his neck and shin. Police say that the child witnessing the alleged assault created a substantial risk to her mental and emotional health.
A warrant was issued for Zeadow’s arrest; she was taken to the Johnson County Jail Sunday night and charged with Domestic Abuse Assault causing Injury and Child Endangerment. If convicted on both counts, she could face up to three years in jail.
