An Iowa City bartender faces charges that he served alcohol after hours.
Iowa City Police say they were conducting a bar check at Grizzly’s on Highland Court just before 2:30 Wednesday morning when they observed a bartender, identified as 34-year-old Alexander Mims of the Lake Ridge manufactured housing community, consuming beer behind the bar. Two patrons were also still reportedly drinking alcoholic beverages despite it being well past 2am.
Police say they also observed Mims take cash for a tab. He later reportedly admitted to consuming shots after 2am as well.
Mims is charged with Selling or Dispensing Alcohol After Hours. If convicted, he faces a maximum of 30 days in jail.
