Inmate charged with assaulting law enforcement

Monday evening, James Streuli, 57, of Spencer, who was originally arrested Friday last week on West Fourth Street, was charged with two counts of assault on peace officers.

Clay County deputies were called to assist the Clay County Jail staff with an inmate. Upon doing so, the inmate, Streuli, assaulted the correctional officer and a Clay County deputy.

Both charges are serious misdemeanors.
