Centerville woman accused of 10 counts of assault on a peace officer

A 22-year-old Appanoose County woman facing several misdemeanor charges was arraigned Nov. 20 on 10 counts of assault on a peace officer.

Nicole Renee Sales, of Centerville, is accused of eight counts of assault against Centerville Police Department Sgt. Mike Moore and two counts of assault against Appanoose County jailer Antonio Caraccio. The charges stem from incidents that allegedly occurred Sept. 5 at the Appanoose County jail where Sales threw a cup of water on Moore, struck him seven times with her left fist and she threw a bowl of cereal on Caraccio and kicked him in the leg.

Sales entered a written arraignment and plea of not guilty to the 10 counts on Oct. 24.

Besides the current charges, Sales has also been accused of the aggravated misdemeanor charges of two counts of assault on a jailer and others causing bodily injury and first degree harassment. She also faces misdemeanor charges of desecration of the American flag and fifth degree theft.

Her next court appearance has yet to be scheduled.

This week the Iowegian wants readers to think about the recent decision by the Centerville Municipal Waterworks Board of Directors to increase the fee for late payment of water bills. In a story published in Wednesday's Ad Express, board members announced a 10 percent late fee after two days late, a $50 red tag fee for accounts unpaid after seven days late and a $25 shut off fee, water service terminated after two weeks late. The board said the decision to increase the fees associated with late payment is to encourage customers to pay their bills on time. So, the question this week is, "Are these fees too much to ask for?"

A. Yes, they are.
B. No, they are not.
C. I'm not affected so I don't care.
