A Quad Cities man has been arrested after he allegedly threatened the staff of a downtown Iowa City bar with a knife.
That’s according to Iowa City Police, who were called to The Sports Column just after midnight Saturday. As Sports Column staffers were dealing with a subject who had broken a window, 19-year-old Ian McDaniel of Muscatine reportedly confronted them and pulled out a knife, swinging it at two different bouncers. He then reportedly left the scene while threatening to get a gun.
Police say McDaniel produced the knife when asked by officers, and it matched the knife described by the alleged victims.
The family of the man who broke the window told KCJJ he does not know McDaniel.
McDaniel is charged with two counts of Assault While Displaying a Weapon and one count of Carrying a Weapon While Intoxicated. If convicted on all charges, he faces a maximum of five years in prison.
