Appanoose County, IOWA - A 37-year-old woman from Unionville, identified as Kalie Hutt, has been arrested and charged with attempted murder after allegedly firing multiple shots at another resident, leading to a stand-off with law enforcement.
The incident unfolded on September 23rd, 2023, when the Appanoose County Sheriff’s Office received a distress call from the 16100 block of 331st Ave in Unionville. According to reports, a woman had discharged a firearm at another individual. Deputies promptly responded to the scene, encountering Hutt in the yard, brandishing a handgun towards one of the deputies.
