MANSON, Iowa (AP) — An Iowa sheriff charged with assault and domestic abuse also faces allegations that he harassed female employees.
Calhoun County Sheriff, 51-year-old Scott Edward Anderson was arrested Sunday in the central Iowa city of Manson.
A complaint released Monday says he dragged and choked his wife, then head-butted an officer while being arrested.
He has applied for a court-appointed attorney.
An Associated Press request for comment to him Monday wasn’t immediately returned.
Meanwhile, a former county dispatcher in December filed a civil-rights complaint alleging Anderson harassed her and retaliated when she complained.
Anderson is up for re-election.
