Three teens have been charged after a reported assault earlier this month that left one participant injured.
Iowa City Police were called to a fight at the Sycamore Theaters just after 11:45am on January 12th. A 16-year-old boy reportedly poured a cup of soda on another 16-year-old boy who the first boy thought had been harassing him. The second boy and a 15-year-old girl allegedly responded by punching the other boy multiple times, leading to a chipped tooth, bleeding from the nose and mouth and bruising on both cheeks.
The teen who poured the drink is charged with Disorderly Conduct, while the two teens accused of throwing punches each face a more serious charge of Assault Causing Injury.
If convicted as adults, the teens accused of assault would face a maximum of one year in jail.
