A man faces up to 10 years in prison for injuring two Dubuque police officers. 22 year old Mathew Foxhood pleaded guilty in Iowa District Court of Dubuque County to two counts of willful injury causing serious injury, interference with official acts, absence from custody and violating the terms of his probation. Foxhood was on work release on July 2nd when he failed to return to a state correctional facility. On July 26th, Officer Nicholas Soppe arrested Foxhood because he was wanted on that warrant. Foxhood was taken to Dubuque Law Enforcement Center, where he allegedly head-butted Soppe and Officer Clark Egdorf. Reports say that Egdorf required “several stitches” for his wound and that Soppe was diagnosed with a possible fractured nose. His sentencing hearing is set for December 9th.
