An Iowa City man was arrested early Tuesday morning after allegedly damaging a car roof and assaulting a paramedic.
The incident occurred at the Pheasant Ridge Apartments on Bartelt Road. According to police, 44-year-old Azadin Jarow of Willow Creek Drive was in a parking lot. He reportedly stood on, jumped up and down, and stomped on the roof of a car, screaming incoherently. The vehicle was not his.
The officer on scene called an ambulance to evaluate Jarow. When approached, Jarow allegedly struck the paramedic in the face without provocation.
Damage to the vehicle exceeded $1500.
Jarow was charged with 2nd degree Criminal Mischief, Trespass causing damage, Interference with Official Acts causing Bodily Injury, and Assault on Persons in Certain Occupations causing Bodily Injury. If convicted on all counts, Jarow could be sentenced to up to ten years in prison.
