Who Says Nothing Ever Happens In Iowa?

Corn country. Flyover territory. The sticks. Iowa has been dismissed for years as a place where nothing ever really happens. But that simply isn't true. How many states can boast drunken, naked women with hammers beating people and smashing up cars while resisting arrest? Hmmm?

Police Sunday night arrested a Des Moines woman armed with a hammer, who was naked, following a domestic dispute where several individuals, including an officer, were assaulted.

According to a Des Moines police report, officers were called to 817 Buchanan Street on a domestic dispute with a hammer. They arrived and met with Sheree Sanford, 51, who said Satin Delfrano, 32, had been assaulting her and two other women.

Police found a blue van in the driveway with it's windows shattered and glass strewn on the driveway. Sanford said Delfrano was upstairs and had just smashed out the van's two large rear windows with a bed frame.

Officers went upstairs into a bedroom and found Delfrano naked with a hammer.

After being allowed to get dressed, police handcuffed her and escorted her outside where she tried to walk away on her knees and then kicked an officer in his right leg causing injury.

Another woman at the residence, Joyce Beaman, 46, said Delfrano had stayed the night and began drinking that morning, becoming severely intoxicated. Lisa Miller, 39, who was also present at the time, said Delfrano later became enraged for unknown reasons and began hitting her.

Come to think of it, how many states want to boast about drunken, naked women with hammers beating people and smashing up cars while resisting arrest? (Don't miss the mug shot. Charming.)

    I suppose I should have warned people to wear proper protective gear.

    I thought Iowahawk ought to know about this; she’s got to be his Hoosegow Honey of the Week.
