A Coralville man accused of forcing his way into his separated wife’s residence has reached a plea deal.
Iowa City Police say 34-year-old Rahul Thomare of Euclid Drive went to his estranged wife’s residence the night of March 1st, forced the door open and yelled threats at the woman and her roommate. He also allegedly shoved them before fleeing back to his hotel.
Police say Thomare admitted to being at the woman’s apartment and confronting the two, saying he fled the residence because he was scared.
Thomare was arrested and charged with 2nd degree Burglary, 4th degree Criminal Mischief and first offense Domestic Abuse Assault. If convicted on all counts, Thomare could have been sentenced to over eleven years in prison.
Thomare has since reached a plea deal with prosecutors, with all but the criminal mischief charges being dismissed. A sentencing hearing is set for August 3rd.
