Allegedly attacking her husband with a screwdriver has led to an Iowa City woman’s arrest.
Iowa City Police were called to One University Place on Melrose Avenue just before 3:30 Wednesday afternoon. A caller said his wife, identified as 34-year-old Sarah Nace, had attacked him with a screwdriver inside the couple’s apartment. The man had visible marks on his arms and hands, bite marks on his left forearm and was bleeding.
The man told investigators that Nace had attacked him while trying to get through a door when he attempted to block the screwdriver. The screwdriver scraped his hand, drawing blood.
Nace allegedly rebuked the investigating officer, telling him he was not a marriage counselor and could not help the situation. She then demanded the officer leave the apartment and continued to be agitated and uncooperative.
Nace was taken into custody with some resistance and was charged with Domestic Abuse Assault, a Simple Misdemeanor punishable by a maximum of 30 days in jail.
