An Iowa City man was arrested early Sunday morning after refusing to comply with officers and getting into a fight with them.
The incident reportedly occurred just before 3 am in the 200 block of South Van Buren Street. According to the police report, 28-year-old Nathaniel Williams of Muscatine Avenue did not comply with verbal commands from officers, and initiated a physical altercation. He pushed officers several times and began swinging his arms, which resulted in one of the officers getting struck in the face.
Williams was taken into custody and charged with two counts of Assault on Peace Officers, Assault on a Peace Officer causing injury, and Interference with Official Acts. If convicted on all charges, he could be sentenced to up to over four years in jail. He was released on his own recognizance later that morning, pending future court dates.
