A Burlington man is facing a felony after police say he assaulted a correctional officer at the Des Moines County Jail Tuesday. Charles Weddington, 32, has been charged with assault. Correctional officers at the jail were attempting to get Weddington to gather his belongings and enter his cell. But police say Weddington refused, picked up his mattress to use a shield, picked up a cup, and threw the cup at an officer, hitting him in the face. Authorities say the incident was also caught on video.
