MARENGO — Anthony Reyne Wetzel, of Muscatine, was charged Oct. 16 in Iowa County District Court with driving while barred in an incident that occurred Sept. 18.

According to the criminal complaint filed with the court, a deputy stopped Wetzel because the vehicle he was driving had a severely damaged windshield. The deputy found a 30-pack of Busch Light beer in the passenger floor board, the complaint says. The carton was open and one beer was missing.

The deputy also found four Fireball whiskey shooter bottles in the vehicle, the court document says.

Wetzel was barred from driving for being a habitual offender at the time, court documents say.

Wetzel was also charged with possession or purchase of alcohol under the age of 18.

Karen Darlene Click, 78, of Marengo, was charged Oct. 18 with assault on a peace officer, interference with official acts and public intoxication following an incident at Ambie’s Bar in Marengo Oct. 18 about 1 p.m.

According to court documents, Marengo Police Officer Heath Jepson went into the bar at 194 E. Washington St. in Marengo to ask Click to move her vehicle because of a citywide event.

Click was under the influence of alcohol and yelled that she wouldn’t comply, the criminal complaint filed with the court says. Click got off the bar stool, bumped Jepson aside with her shoulder, striking him with a cane in the left boot area, the court document says.

Jepson followed Click outside to take her into custody for assault on a peace officer and interference. She pulled her arms away, screamed and grabbed a door handle on a parked car for leverage, the criminal complaint says.
