A Cross Park Place resident was taken into custody by Iowa City Police after he allegedly threatened the staff.

The incident occurred just after midnight Friday at the facility on Cross Park Avenue. Officers were called for someone threatening the staff, and came upon 42-year-old Bryan Wickman. He allegedly had bloodshot watery eyes, slurred speech, unsteady balance, and the odor of ingested alcohol.  According to the arrest report, Wickman approached a staff member aggressively while threatening to kill her, and smacked a computer on her desk. He also reportedly knocked a cup sitting on the desk towards her.

While being transported to the Johnson County Jail, Wickman reportedly told an officer to stay away from the Police Department because he was going to kill them.

WIckman could be sentenced to up to 26 months in jail if he’s convicted on Harassment, Public Intoxication, and Disorderly Conduct charges.
