More Arrests For Violating Gathering Restrictions

Dubuque Police say two more people involved in a large disturbance in Dubuque earlier this month were arrested on charges of violating Iowa’s COVID-19-related prohibition on gatherings. 26 year old Whitaker Ingles and 28 year old Sara Wells, both of Dubuque, were arrested Tuesday at Dubuque Law Enforcement Center for allegedly violating Iowa Department of Public Health orders. Both people were among 11 people involved in a large disturbance on April 18th in a backyard on Ellis Street. Ingles was arrested immediately following the disturbance on charges of possession of cocaine with intent to deliver, possession of marijuana, seven counts of unlawful possession of prescription drugs and carrying a concealed weapon. 26 year old Alan Ellison and 23 year old Devonn Phillips were also arrested earlier this week on charges of violating the gathering restrictions.
