I would report the matter to the Iowa Department of Human Services, your local police department, or both. You can also contact her parole officer as well.

This is domestic abuse assault and this woman needs to be removed from the home permanently.

Barring that your friend should proceed as if she was any other tenant or room renter and evict her.
