Deputy Charged with Domestic Abuse

On 02-15-22 at approximately 10:46 PM the Washington County Communications Center was notified of two people arguing at their residence. Washington County Deputies responded and separated the parties involved.  Because one person involved was Washington County Deputy Robyn Hoppman, the Iowa State Patrol was called to investigate the incident.  Personnel from the Iowa State Patrol arrived and after completion of their initial investigation arrested Robyn Hoppman for Domestic Abuse Assault with Intent to Inflict Serious injury, 1st offense.  Hoppman was transported to the Washington County Jail and held pending her initial court hearing.  After her initial court hearing Hoppman posted $2,000 bond and was released.

The criminal case is still under investigation by the Iowa State Patrol.

Washington County Sheriff’s Office has no further information reference the Iowa State Patrol’s pending criminal case.

Deputy Robyn Hoppman has been placed on paid administrative leave pending the completion of an internal investigation.
