An Iowa City man who threatened a police officer was arrested after slapping them.

Saturday night just before 10:30, uniformed officers were at the Hollywood Court residence of 42-year-old Nicholas Furman on an unspecified incident. During the interaction with Furman he reportedly expressed a desire to take an officer’s weapon and use it on them.

Furman was then told he was not free to leave, and as officers attempted to detain him, he slapped an officer on the arm.

Furman was arrested and charged with Interference with Official Acts, a serious misdemeanor.
