An Iowa City woman has been arrested on drunk and reckless driving charges after she was allegedly found in Washington County with a wanted arsonist in her car.
Washington County dispatch records indicate a vehicle stop was conducted at East 2nd Street and 12th Avenue in Washington just before 11:30 Wednesday night. A deputy reported a male subject fled from the scene and a taser was deployed. That subject was treated by EMTs.
The driver, 21-year-old Brooke Lynne Habner-Keever of Cross Park Avenue, was charged with Operating While Intoxicated, Failure to Obey a Traffic Control Device, No Valid License, Failure to Provide Financial Liability, Reckless Driving and Speeding at 62 miles per hour in a 25 mile per hour zone.
A passenger in the car, 24-year-old Colton Lane Pategas of Davenport, was charged with Interference With Official Acts. He reportedly had warrants from Oakdale and Davenport for Absence From Custody – Escape stemming from a previous 2nd Degree Arson conviction. Pategas was scheduled to be extradited as soon as the Washington County charge was processed.
