A Burlington woman who thought it was a good idea to dance on the top of a squad car was arrested by Iowa City Police early Sunday morning.

According to the arrest report, 20-year-old Asia McQuay of North 8th Street jumped on top of a police car just after 1 am in the 100 block of College Street, reportedly to take a photo of herself dancing. The incident caused scratches and dents to the hood of the squad car, and McQuay was identified by security camera footage.

McQuay was later stopped by officers, and she allegedly provided a false name to them. She was taken into custody and charged with a simple misdemeanor for criminal mischief, but faces a serious misdemeanor for providing false ID information. If convicted on both charges, McQuay could be sentenced to up to 13 months in jail.
