An argument over an affair led to an Iowa City woman being arrested for assault.
The initial call to the residence on Shamrock Drive on July 3rd was about a female having a seizure. While the woman, identified as 30-year-old Montesha Walker, was being treated, an officer observed a man standing by the door covered in blood. He alleged that Walker stabbed him, but it was accidental due to her confusion.
On the way to the hospital, the victim then alleged that Walker was upset about an affair that occurred. According to his narrative, Walker was on the phone with another man when she got upset and slashed the victim twice on the left shoulder with a knife.
Police tried to speak with Walker on scene, but she reportedly denied anything happened and was unable to be reached for further questioning.
A warrant was requested for Walker’s arrest on July 13th; she was taken into custody on Tuesday. She faces a charge of Domestic Abuse Assault with Intent to inflict Serious Injury, an aggravated misdemeanor punishable by a jail sentence of up to two years if convicted.
Judge Jason Burns also issued a no-contact order between the two.
