Allegedly hitting her boyfriend over the head with a flashlight before trying to run him down in a truck and chasing him with a meat cleaver has led to a Coralville woman’ arrest.
According to the Johnson County Sheriff’s Office, 39-year-old Vanessa Ramirez of 4th Avenue called her boyfriend around 4pm on Thursday to pick her up at A to Z Consignment on 1st Avenue. He then took her to Garage Mahaul on Alyssa Court, despite a no-contact order being in place between the two.
Once at Garage Mahaul, Ramirez allegedly hit the man over the head with a flashlight, causing an injury. Police say she then got into the alleged victim’s truck and chased him with it in the parking lot, stating that she was going to run him over.
Ramirez also allegedly held a meat cleaver and a screwdriver and told the man she was going to stab him, and that it would not end until one of them was dead.
Ramirez is charged with Domestic Abuse Assault With Intent to Inflict Serious Injury and Violating a No-Contact Order. If convicted, she faces a maximum of two years in prison.
