Allegedly barging into a neighbor’s apartment and assaulting him with a shopping cart has led to an Iowa City man’s arrest.
Earlier this week, 41-year-old Dustin Kreimeyer of the 501 Apartments on Southgate Avenue entered a not guilty plea to a Simple Assault charge. Iowa City Police say Kreimeyer rammed a shopping cart into his neighbor’s apartment door just after 11am on April 1st, then slammed the door and violently kicked it. He then reportedly ripped a large walking stick out of the occupant’s hand before kicking the shopping cart into him, causing the man to lose his balance and fall into a wall before falling to the floor. Kreimeyer then reportedly stood over the man and continued to yell at him in a threatening manner.
Security video reportedly shows Kreimeyer acting aggressively towards the man for several minutes before the reported assault.
Kreimeyer faces a maximum of 30 days in jail, if convicted.
