FEMA's concept how to help out Iowa flood victims

Here's how FEMA helps you out. First they run over you and then hit you with a golf club because you were in the way. Good job Vincent.

CEDAR RAPIDS - A Federal Emergency Management Agency housing inspector was arrested this morning after police said he nearly hit a Penford Products employee with his car, then slammed his arm with a golf club.

Vincent Koley, 74, of Chapin, S.C., was charged with assault with a dangerous weapon after the 11:30 a.m. incident, the Cedar Rapids Police Department reported.

Koley was driving south on First Street SW when he nearly hit Penford employee Tom Kramer in the crosswalk in front of the plant at 10th Avenue SW, police said. Kramer, 54, of Lisbon, was able to get out of the vehicle's way without being hit, and pushed off the side of the car.

Koley stopped the car and jumped out, police said. Kramer told him to slow down and that he was in the cross walk. Koley replied that "he didn't have to slow down, he was with FEMA," police said. The two argued for a minute, and when Kramer turned to walk away, Koley took a golf club out of his car and struck Kramer across the arm, breaking the golf club.

Koley got back into his car, but numerous Penford employees observed the incident and surrounded the car so Koley couldn't leave, police said. Koley then began to nudge his car forward, forcing Kramer, who was in front of the car, onto the car's hood.

Koley was booked into the Jones County Jail.
