An Arizona man faces charges that he assaulted another man who asked him to check on his unconscious girlfriend outside a downtown Iowa City bar.
Iowa City Police say the victim asked 26-year-old William Linardos of Tempe, Arizona to check on Linardos’ girlfriend, who passed out outside Joe’s Place on Iowa Avenue just before 11:45 Friday night. Linardos allegedly responded by sucker-punching the man in the face, causing severe bleeding to his mouth and nose.
Linardos was arrested and charged with Assault Causing Bodily Injury and Public Intoxication. If convicted on both charges, he faces a maximum of 13 months in jail.
