DUBUQUE, Iowa — Shannon Leolabrian Johnson, 27, was arrested early Wednesday, March 4, 2026, at approximately 1:54 a.m. in the 2200 block of Jackson Street.

The Dubuque Police Department, with Officer B.J. Eberly as the arresting officer, charged Johnson with four misdemeanors:

1.  Interference with Official Acts – Inflict Bodily Injury

2.  Harassment in the Second Degree

3.  Harassment in the Second Degree

4.  Interference with Official Acts – No Injury/Damage

The charges arose from an encounter where Johnson allegedly resisted officers, including one instance that caused bodily injury (likely minor, such as bruising or pain, given the misdemeanor classification under Iowa Code). The separate no-injury interference charge suggests multiple distinct acts of resistance during the incident. The two harassment counts may involve threatening, annoying, or alarming conduct toward officers or others present.

Officer Injuries

The “Inflict Bodily Injury” charge indicates at least one officer sustained physical harm during the resistance. Iowa law defines bodily injury broadly to include pain or visible marks; no public details specify severity, treatment needed, or if the officer required time off duty.

No additional circumstances (e.g., call type or full sequence of events) have been released beyond the official arrest log from the Dubuque Law Enforcement Center. Johnson was booked into the Dubuque Law Enforcement Center. As misdemeanors, potential penalties include fines, probation, community service, or short jail time, depending on record and court outcome.

Charges are allegations only; Johnson is presumed innocent until proven guilty. No further updates on bond, court dates, or investigation status are available at this time.
