Same Women Found Unconscious Along Road in Coralville, Walking 'Dazed’ on I-380; Taken to Linn County Jail

Cedar Rapids Police say they found Amber Vincentz walking northbound on Interstate 380 at 12:05 p.m. on Wednesday appearing “dazed” — she only stopped walking after an officer grabbed her arm and seemed to indicate that she couldn’t speak.

Police later discovered that this was the same woman who made news a week ago after being found unconscious on a highway in Coralville. She said she had been assaulted, according to the Gazette.

She was transported to Mercy Hospital, at which point she broke her silence and spoke to a doctor, but refused treatment. 

She gave a fake name to the officer at the hospital and was arrested for providing false information to law enforcement.

Cedar Rapids Police officials say the investigation is ongoing, and, according to the Gazette, she was still in Linn County Jail as of Wednesday.
