A traffic incident in downtown Iowa City Tuesday has led to weapons charges against a passenger in one of the vehicles involved.
According to the arrest report, 21-year-old Kaleb Moore of Michael Street was a passenger in a Mustang when a woman honked her horn at the vehicle while they were waiting in traffic. Moore then allegedly got out of the car, approached the woman and called her a racial slur. The woman then drove away from the scene.
The two vehicles met up with each other in traffic again near the intersection of Iowa and Clinton streets around 7:20 pm. This time, Moore allegedly exited the vehicle holding a firearm. He then ran up to the woman’s passenger side window and pointed the firearm at her. He reportedly told her that he would blow her brains out.
Video footage allegedly exists showing Moore running up to the victim’s car while she is still in the driver’s seat.
Moore faces a number of charges, including Intimidation with a Dangerous Weapon, Going Armed with Intent, and Assault with the use of a Weapon. If convicted on all counts, he could face a prison sentence of up to 12 years.
