A North Liberty Police officer was injured Friday night while taking a suspect into custody.

According to arrest records, the officer suffered an injury to the left knee and a cut to a ring finger while taking 23-year-old Cade Corso into custody at his residence in the Holiday Lodge manufactured housing community just after 8:00 Friday night. Corso, who reportedly resisted arrest, was wanted for allegedly leaving threatening messages for his ex-girlfriend around 6:30 Friday morning. The Johnson County Sheriff’s Office says Corso threatened to kill the woman’s new boyfriend if he saw him. The texts allegedly contained the new boyfriend’s name as well as vulgar language.

Corso is charged with 3rd Degree Harassment and Interference With Official Acts Causing Bodily Injury. If convicted on both counts, he faces a maximum of 13 months in jail.
