Head Butting Incident Gets Man Sentenced To 10 Years in Prison

A man recently was sentenced to 10 years in prison for badly injuring two Dubuque police officers. 22 year old Mathew Foxhood previously pleaded guilty in Iowa District Court of Dubuque County to charges including two counts of willful injury causing serious injury. Reports say that Foxhood was on work release on July 2nd when he failed to return to the state correctional facility on Elm Street. On July 26th, Officer Nicholas Soppe arrested Foxhood because he was wanted on that warrant. Foxhood was taken to the Dubuque Law Enforcement Center, where he head-butted Soppe and Officer Clark Egdorf, injuring both of them.
