An Iowa City man was arrested early Friday morning after an alleged altercation with three women in the downtown area.
Police say the incident occurred at around 1:45 am near the intersection of Linn and College Streets. According to the arrest report, 34-year-old Sean Sires of South Johnson Street got into a verbal argument with two females and started punching them, causing injuries. While the fight was going on, a friend of the women tried to stop the fight, and was reportedly slapped by Sires.
Upon Contact, Sires allegedly had bloodshot watery eyes, slurred confused speech, admitted to drinking and to being too drunk.
Sires was taken into custody and charged with three counts of Assault causing Bodily Injury and Public Intoxication. If convicted on the charges, he could be sentenced to over three years in jail.
On Friday, Judge Brandon Schrock ordered a no-contact order and released Sires on his own recognizance. An arraignment will be scheduled at a later date.
