CR woman allegedly assaults police officers

Iowa City police arrested a Cedar Rapids woman after she allegedly assaulted a police officer Sunday.

Angela Stolte, 29, was charged May 8 with assault on peace officers and others.

A complaint said officers responded to a report of a woman who wouldn’t get out of a vehicle at the 1500 block of Center Avenue.

Upon arrival, the report said, an officer calmly spoke with her until she allegedly threw her cell phone at him.

Then, the report said, Stolte climbed out of the front door on the passenger side and ran at the officer while swinging her fists.

Assault on peace officers and others is a serious misdemeanor, punishable by up to one year in jail and a maximum fine of $1,875.
