CLEAR LAKE — A Clear Lake woman is in jail on a burglary charge.
A criminal complaint states that Clear Lake police were called at about 11:30 Saturday night to a unit at the Green Meadows Mobile Home Park at 2400 South Shore Drive on the report of a burglary in progress. On arrival, police say 36-year-old Jessica Peterson flagged down the officers in front of her unit and allegedly admitted to being the person who was at the unit where the incident took place.
The complaint says there was a dispute between Peterson and the people in that unit, with the residents stating she came there two separate times. The first time, Peterson allegedly pushed and kicked the bottom of the main entry door. The second time, she forced the main door off of the hinges, grabbed one of the two occupants, and pulled him down the steps onto the floor of the enclosed porch area, where he says he was kicked in the chin.
When being arrested, police say Peterson was placed into handcuffs but kicked one of the officers in the upper thigh and lower groin.
Peterson has been charged with second-degree burglary, a Class C felony, as well as assault on persons in certain occupations with the intent to injure, a Class D felony.
Peterson is being held in the Cerro Gordo County Jail on $15,000 bond. She’s due in court for her preliminary hearing on February 28th.
