Iowa City Police say 29-year-old Charles Tate of 11th Avenue was driving a 2018 Kia Optima on Arthur Street near the Town & Campus Apartments just after 11:30pm on January 5th. Tate had a suspended license, leading to a traffic stop from Iowa City Police.
According to arrest records, Tate pulled into a parking spot behind 2714 Wayne Avenue, then backed out and sped away. A brief police chase ensued, and Tate escaped.
Coralville Police say just before midnight that same night Tate was seen driving a car that belonged to a protected party in a no-contact order. The car was located outside the woman’s 11th Avenue residence.
Tate is charged with Eluding and a no-contact order violation. If convicted, he faces a maximum of two years in jail.
