An Iowa City man faces a no-contact order violation and a harassment charge after he was taken into custody early Sunday morning.
30-year-old Tahmir Allen of North Governor Street was booked into the Johnson County Jail just after 1:30am Sunday. Allen was wanted on a Harassment charge after allegedly constantly trying to contact a Coralville resident the night of January 30th. Police say Allen should have known attempts to contact the victim would be annoying, intimidating or place the victim in fear. One call was made in the presence of police, and officers obtained home security video showing Allen at the door of the victim’s 23rd Avenue Place apartment shortly before they arrived.
Allen was also wanted after police learned he’d been staying at a Coralville hotel with a person who has a no-contact order against him. The two allegedly stayed in the same room at the Mainstay Suites on Holiday Road from March 15th to March 20th, 2021. Police were called to the room on March 20th of last year for a domestic disturbance, but Allen fled the scene before officers could arrive.
Allen is charged with 3rd Degree Harassment and a No-Contact Order Violation.
