(Red Oak, Iowa) – A woman was taken into custody following a brief foot pursuit Monday afternoon, in Red Oak. According to the Red Oak Police Department, officers responded to the area of Broadway and Coolbaugh Streets at around 4-p.m., following a report a woman was throwing objects onto the roadway and at passing vehicles. When they arrived, Red Oak Police saw the female, identified as 46-year-old Heidi Ann Divis, of Red Oak, acting erratically. They instructed her to get out of the street and come to them. Divis refused and began to flee on foot.

During her run from Officers, Divis attempted to enter an occupied vehicle stopped at a traffic light. She tried to open the vehicle door by pulling on the door handle and yelled at the driver. When the driver ordered her to leave their vehicle alone, Divis fled again, running through nearby yards and an alleyway. She was attempting to enter a residence through a back door, when officers intervened and gave repeated lawful commands, which she ignored. Police had to physically remove her from the property and placed Divis under arrest.

She was transported to the Montgomery County Jail, and according to police, continued to resist. She was physically placed by officers into a holding cell. Heidi Divis was charged with Interference with Official Acts (A Misdmeanor), and held on a $300 bond.
