A chronic trespasser faces charges that she threatened to shoot Iowa City Police officers.
29-year-old Porscha Curry of the Lake Ridge manufactured housing community was trespassed from the 1st Avenue Hy-Vee last month after being accused of multiple thefts. Iowa City Police were called to the grocery store location again just before 4:30 Saturday afternoon after Curry allegedly became combative with security who asked her to leave. Curry was also forced to leave the store on Friday, when security told her the next time they saw her they were calling the police.
Curry was arrested at the nearby Town & Campus Apartments. As she was being taken into custody, Curry allegedly told the arresting officer that after she got out of jail she was going to buy a gun and shoot him in the head. She also allegedly threatened to shoot the next officer who spoke to her, and any other officers who responded.
A one-hitter pipe with burnt marijuana residue was reportedly found on Curry’s person.
Curry is charged with 1st Degree Harassment, Possession of Drug Paraphernalia, and Trespassing. If convicted on all charges, she faces a maximum of 26 months in jail.
