A rural Oxford woman has been arrested after Johnson County deputies say she tried to intentionally spread Covid to her roommate.
Officers were called to the 355th Street residence of 24-year-old Natasha Fumia just after 6:45 Monday night. Fumia was reportedly being kicked out of the house for not paying rent. She allegedly punched the roommate in the face and back, then spit on the roommate. Police say Fumia later told them she was Covid-positive. A post-arrest search of her person reportedly turned up methamphetamine.
Fumia was also wanted after allegedly using a stolen credit card to rack up over $1,500 in purchases from various Iowa City-area businesses earlier this year, including the Mormon Trek Boulevard Kum & Go. She’s also accused of entering the Iowa City Walmart on January 27th, asking an employee to get a table off a high shelf, trying to return the table at customer service without a receipt, then…after being denied…walking out of the store with the table without paying.
In all, Fumia is charged with Domestic Abuse Assault Causing Injury, Possession of a Controlled Substance, 2nd Degree Theft, 5th Degree Theft, and Unauthorized Use of a Credit Card. If convicted on all charges, she faces a maximum of over 12 years in prison.
