CEDAR RAPIDS - Police arrested a Cedar Rapids woman Saturday morning after she flashed officers while they were trying to break up a party. Tena M. Metchell, 28, of 1705 Fifth Ave. SE, is charged with assault on a peace officer, possession of marijuana and interference with official acts after the incident at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in downtown Cedar Rapids. Hotel security called police around 2:45 a.m. Saturday to respond to a large party in the Presidential Suite, a two-story suite on the top floor. When officers arrived, they found a large group of people and asked people to leave. According to the police report, Metchell was among about 30 people standing near an elevator when she pulled down her pants and underwear and lifted up her top to the officers. “She was just somebody in the crowd, until she did that,”Sgt. Cristy Hamblin said. Metchell struggled with officers when they tried to arrest her for violating the city ordinance on public exposure, kicking Officer Michael Dierks a few times in the knee, police said. Dierks did not need medical treatment. While she was being handcuffed, a baggie of marijuana fell out of Metchell’s pants, police said. Metchell was taken to the Linn County Jail.
Are those cryin' eyes, lyin' eyes or highin' eyes? Can't tell. Must've been that new synthetic weed laced with Ecstasy that had ol' Tena flashing her junk to the cops. Youth of America beware!
