An Iowa City man faces charges that he broke into a car in the middle of the night to steal a pillow.
Arrest records indicate security video shows 19-year-old Xzavier Herman of Esther Court walking up to a 2006 Toyota Scion parked in a driveway on Burns Avenue just after 3:15am on September 22nd. Iowa City Police say the video shows Herman opening the door and taking out a pillow before leaving in another vehicle.
Herman was also wanted for allegedly depositing a stolen cellphone into the EcoATM at the Iowa City Walmart on August 24th, then taking an undetermined amount of cash. He was booked into the Johnson County Jail just after 2:00 Friday afternoon and charged with 3rd Degree Burglary of a Motor Vehicle, 4th Degree Theft and 5th Degree Theft. If convicted on all charges, he faces a maximum of over three years in prison.
Herman is currently on probation for a previous weapons conviction after police say he flashed a gun at a crowd of people at the Town & Campus Apartments on Arthur Street last March.
