Suspect Runs Over Dubuque Police Officer’s Foot

Authorities say a man drove over the foot of a police officer during a disturbance Saturday in Dubuque. 22 year old Saveion Williams was arrested Saturday in the area on charges of assault with a dangerous weapon and interference with official acts. Officers responded at about 2 p.m. Saturday to the area of Almond and Ellis streets for a report of a fight. Officer Nicole Blum arrived on the scene and found five people, including Williams involved in a fight. Upon Blum’s arrival, Williams got into the driver’s seat of his vehicle. As Blum approached the vehicle on foot, Williams put his vehicle in reverse in an attempt to leave the scene. Blum ordered Williams to stop multiple times, but Williams continued reversing the vehicle, eventually placing it into drive and drove away directly in the path of Blum, running over Blum’s left foot.
