An Iowa City woman was taken into custody late Wednesday night after allegedly damaging cars while wearing no clothes.
Police say they came upon 36-year-old Clare King of East Court Street in the 500 block of East Davenport Street a little after 11:30 pm, after getting a call about someone stumbling down the road and damaging vehicles. She reportedly fell into the grass, and had no clothes on. King allegedly had slurred speech, didn’t know where she was, made statements that didn’t make sense, had excited emotions, bloodshot watery eyes, and the odor of ingested alcohol.
King reportedly became increasingly agitated during the incident and charged a uniformed officer, pushing them with an open hand. When told she was under arrest, she allegedly resisted and tried to pull away. King reportedly had to be assisted to the ground in order to be handcuffed.
She was charged with Public Intoxication, Interference with Official Acts, and Assault on a Peace Officer. If convicted on all counts, King faces a jail sentence of up to 14 months.
