01/15/2016

(KNZA)--A Hiawatha man accused of assaulting two officers with a screw driver will stand trial on charges.

51-year-old Jeronimo Bouttier waived his preliminary hearing Wednesday and was bound over to Brown County District Court on five counts—including two counts of aggravated assault of a law enforcement officer along with one count each of felony criminal damage to property, misdemeanor criminal damage to property and disorderly conduct.

Arraignment was scheduled for February 22nd.

Bouttier is accused of assaulting two officers with a screw driver after they responded last month to a domestic disturbance call at the Sunflower Motel in Hiawatha.

He’s also accused of breaking a plate glass window out of the Physical and Respiratory Therapy Services building in downtown Hiawatha and damaging two doors at the Sunflower Motel.

Bouttier remains in the Brown County Jail.
