Police say they executed a search warrant on Dec. 15, 2011 at the residence of Ricky Charles Fedrick, 21, of 2437 Petesel Pl. and found him to allegedly have $1,325 worth of items that were stolen from March to July 2011. Police say the items were connected to five burglaries and one robbery.

An Iowa City woman was charged with assaulting a police officer after she allegedly kicked him in the lower back as he was preparing to escort her into the squad car.

Police say Tyshiana Lakiya Mahomes, 19, of 2401 Hwy. 6 E, Iowa City was involved in an argument with her boyfriend on Feb. 4 at roughly 5:30 a.m. that resulted in her allegedly kicking in the door of his apartment. According to police, officers responded for that incident and walked Mahomes into a different location to try to take up the fight, and was told to stay inside for the rest of the night. According to the complaint, a few minutes later, Mahomes returned to the scene of the apartment complex parking lot. Officers said she smelled of alcohol and had slurred speech, red watery eyes, and other indications of intoxication. So the police placed her under arrest for public intoxication.

As Mahomes was being escorted into the squad car, Mahomes allegedly kicked out as the officer was unlocking the squad car in preparation of opening the door for her. For this, Mahomes was charged with assault on a police officer, a serious misdemeanor.
