(Spencer)– An investigation into an assault this past Wednesday in Spencer has resulted in the arrest of a Spencer woman. Spencer police say it stems from a report the Clay County Communications Center received a little after 5:30 pm that day of an assault at 916 2nd Avenue West. Officers determined the suspect, 28-year-old Tiffany Clabaugh of Spencer, had arrived at the residence claiming she was a police officer. Once the occupant opened the door, police allege Clabaugh forced entry and assaulted one of the occupants with a tire iron. Officers say Clabaugh and an adult male were treated for head injuries at Spencer Hospital.
As a result of their investigation, police say Clabaugh was taken into custody today (Tues.) and was charged with burglary in the 1st degree and impersonating a public official. Clabaugh was being held at the Clay county jail without bond.
