DUBUQUE, IA – On August 3, 2025, at approximately 2:05 PM, Johannan Josiah Frost, a 26-year-old male, was arrested at 735 Rose St, Dubuque, Iowa, following an incident reported by the Dubuque Police Department. The arrest, documented under case number 01311 FECR160810, includes serious charges stemming from an alleged domestic altercation.

Frost faces four charges:

1. Domestic Abuse Assault Impeding Air/Blood Flow Causing Bodily Injury, a felony.

2. Domestic Abuse Assault With Injury – Simple Assault, a misdemeanor.

3. Harassment 1st Degree, a misdemeanor.

4. Interference with Official Acts – No Injury/Damage, a misdemeanor.

According to court records, the Dubuque Police Department filed three criminal complaints (Docket #D0001, D0002, D0003) on August 3, 2025, with updates made the following day. Frost also submitted an application for counsel and a financial statement on August 4, 2025, as noted in court documents (Docket #D0004).

The arresting officer, identified as Dubuque Police Officer J.D. Stair, reported the incident.

It is critical to emphasize that an arrest is not an admission of guilt. Under the principles of the United States legal system, every individual is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. The charges against Johannan Josiah Frost represent allegations that must be substantiated through due process. An arrest signifies only that law enforcement has taken an individual into custody based on probable cause, as determined by the arresting officer, J.D. Stair, in this case.

Frost has the right to a fair trial, legal representation, and the opportunity to present a defense. The filing of an application for counsel indicates Frost’s intent to engage with the legal process. No determination of guilt has been made at this stage, and the case remains active, with further proceedings expected in Dubuque County Court.

The public is reminded to respect the legal process and avoid premature judgments.
