An Iowa City woman was arrested on a warrant stemming from an alleged domestic incident.
Police say 36-year-old Yvette Dolezal and her ex-husband share a residence with their children. The afternoon of February 24th, she is accused of kicking the door into the residence and engaged her ex in an argument. It reportedly escalated to the point that Dolezal struck the man in the back with an electrical cord, leaving a welt.
One of their children allegedly witnessed part of the altercation, and told officers that they had seen Dolezal strike her ex-husband in the past.
A warrant was issued for her arrest, and she was booked at the Johnson County Jail Friday. She faces charges of Domestic Abuse Assault and Child Endangerment, and could be sentenced to up to three years in jail if convicted on those counts.
A no-contact order was issued by Judge Christopher Foster.
