STATESVILLE, NC — An Iredell County woman faces multiple charges after officials say she assaulted her boyfriend and then a deputy while she was being booked. Katie Drescher, 26, is charged with Simple Assault, Assault on a Government Official, and Resist, Obstruct, and Delay of an Officer.

She has been given a $12,000 secured bond.
