OSKALOOSA — The woman behind the threats that were made against multiple county courthouses in southeast Iowa, including the Mahaska County Courthouse, has been arrested and more charges have been brought forward in the case.

The Mahaska County Sheriff’s Office reports that yesterday, at approximately 12:30pm, officers went to Century Mobile Home Park, lot #33, located between Beacon and Oskaloosa. While at this address, 31-year-old Erika Jo King of Oskaloosa was arrested on an outstanding Wapello County arrest warrant, which charged King with 1st Degree Harassment and Making Threats of Terrorism.

These charges stem from an incident on August 31st, where King made threats toward multiple county courthouses in southeast Iowa, including the Mahaska County courthouse.

Following her arrest, King was transported to the Wapello County Jail where she was incarcerated. Mahaska County officials have also added a charge of 2nd degree harassment to the case, following an investigation into a telephone call that King allegedly made to the Mahaska County Clerk of Courts Office on 8/31. Authorities say that upon King’s release from the Wapello County Jail, she will be transferred to the Mahaska County Jail to answer to this charge.
