A second Cedar Rapids man faces a felony charge after he and an associate were allegedly involved in a fight that left one woman unconscious outside an Iowa City nightclub.
20-year-old Kendel Thompson of 17th Street NE was booked into the Johnson County Jail just after 11:45 Tuesday morning. Iowa City Police say Thompson and 19-year-old Antonio Scotton of North Towne Court Northeast were involved in a fight that started inside H Bar on South Van Buren Street just before 1:45am on October 23rd. Several participants were removed from the premises, but the fight continued into the street. Police say Thompson and Scotton were involved in kicking, shoving, pushing and stomping other people during the incident.
Witnesses report seeing Scotton punch and kick a female subject while she was on the ground, which rendered her unconscious. He was booked into the Johnson County Jail Monday morning.
Thompson and Scotton are each charged with Willful Injury Causing Bodily Injury and Participating in a Riot. If convicted on both counts, each man could be sentenced to up to seven years in prison.
