Hawarden, Iowa — A Hawarden woman who was apparently in distress now faces a felony charge after she allegedly lashed out at those trying to help her.
According to a criminal complaint filed with the Sioux County Clerk of Court’s Office, Hawarden Police Officer Adam Ter Haar says that he went to 28-year-old Stacy Carr’s home just after midnight on Monday morning to assist EMTs that had been paged to Carr’s place after she had apparently called 911. Officer Ter Haar states that Carr had told the 911 dispatcher that she had overdosed on “mushrooms.”
Officer Ter Haar says that while they were on the scene, Carr became agitated and then assaulted Hawarden EMS Director Jeff Nohava and Officer Ter Harr.
She was arrested and was charged with Assault on Persons in Certain Occupations with Intent to Injure, which is a class D felony in Iowa. If convicted of a Class D felony, Carr could face five years in prison and a fine of between $750 and $7500. No court dates have yet been set in the case.
