A central Iowa man is accused of assaulting two women at a bar in Lone Tree.

Johnson County Sheriff’s deputies were called to Gussy’s on Devoe Street just before 12:45 Sunday morning for a fight inside the bar. Witnesses allege 55-year-old William Kunsman of Des Moines punched two separate women…a customer and a bartender…during a heated argument.

Deputies caught up with Kunsman’s 2019 Ram 1500 Rebel on northbound Highway 218  just south of the Interstate 80 interchange after he reportedly pulled off and parked on the side of the road just after 1:30am. Kunsman reportedly showed signs of intoxication, admitted to drinking and to getting into a physical altercation at the bar. His breath alcohol level was measured at .122% and .117%.

Kunsman was arrested and charged with Operating While Intoxicated and two counts of Assault. If convicted on all charges, he faces a maximum of 14 months in jail.
