A North Liberty man faces up to six years in prison after allegedly driving while intoxicated and after his passenger was thrown from the vehicle.
According to police, 37-year-old Joshua Lenz of Wenrose Drive was traveling near the intersection of Curtis Bridge Road Northeast and Twinmill Drive Saturday just before 2am, and was driving intoxicated. A passenger was thrown from the vehicle and hit his head on the side of the road.
