Hawarden, Iowa — A Hawarden woman faces a felony charge after Hawarden Police officers say she allegedly disarmed an officer of his Taser during her apprehension.
According to statements from the Hawarden Police on criminal complaints filed with the Sioux County Clerk of Court, on Saturday night, 43-year-old Tamra Daugherty-Wilson of Hawarden was detained while officers investigated a possible alleged OWI. They say she was observed driving without headlights and failed field sobriety tests. She then refused to provide a breath sample. Before she completed the implied consent advisory, the officer says she became hostile in the police department. The statements say she assaulted an officer with the intent of inflicting a serious injury. They also say that during the alleged assault, Daugherty-Wilson removed the officer’s Taser before she was subdued.
Daugherty-Wilson was charged with assault on a peace officer and disarming a peace officer, both class D felonies, and a misdemeanor count of operating while intoxicated.
Her bond was set at $5000. She was released the next day.
